Back In the Trash

It just isn't what you do - that - leads you where you are

Excuses I have heard - over - from you

If you really would you - might just have a chance

If you really could - you - might just have a hope

Your life - your song - isn't worth a damn

So go - escape - do the best you can

This place looks so familiar, you've been here before

Every little brick you know, you're back once more

Struggling hard to keep away, from this your private hell

Knowing it's no use to kry, escaping from this spell

All through the years, fighting to survive

Find yourself a manhole, and breathe to stay alive

All things that you could have done, pounding in your head

Now you're back where you belong, wishin' you were dead

All you want is to stay away

All you get are glints of the past

You know from this smell of decay

You know that you're back in the trash

And when the night comes, the gutter is your bed

And when the sun shines, you'll try to hide your head

There's just no help here, no one looks your way

There ain't no welfare, the question is: Will you survive the day?

You just can't ignore the fact, that you are sinkin' slow

Everyone around you can see you've lost the glow

There's no point in actin', you can't hide it anymore

You're vulnerable to eyes, they look at you and you feel sore
