Spit Shining Shit - The Lawrence Arms

I was awake, dreaming about sleeping

And my mistakes, and how I keep ‘em

So close to me, so that I’ll never forget,

I can’t get anywhere

Shedding tears over these bottles

Celebrating life at the bottom

Of the barrel of a barrel so rotten

And I’ve forgotten

What this was like before I started stopping

Fuck this, I’m out of bullshit to cry about.

Pass these «fuck you"s around.

I’ll be dead and gone when this shit hits the crowd

Tell me why I even tried tonight

I should just let it die.

And I’m tired of waiting for this shit to shine.

I was asleep dreaming about palm trees

And I woke up to lonely city streets

I heard the voices echoed in the back room

And I had to walk around the corner to the barstools

Where I was

Shedding tears over these bottles

Celebrating life at the bottom

Of the barrel of a barrel so rotten

And I’ve forgotten

How to light this fire

I’ve forgotten

How to toe this wire

I’ve forgotten

What shit was like before I started stopping

Tell me why I even tried tonight

I should just let it die.

And I’m tired of waiting for this shit to shine.

I am tired of waiting

I am tired of waiting

This is my life this is my time

It’s time to take it

Don’t let it die.
