Everything I Own Fits In This Backpack |
I woke up today and put all my shit in boxes, |
It’s 8am so I’m glad I wasn’t out late, |
I woke up today, |
I guess it’s good I hadn’t finished unpacking all of this in the first place, |
The suburbs have abandoned me, |
I’ve had the same best friends since '93 |
I call he’s not answering, No, |
I can’t get comfortable on my own street, |
I’m not fond of South Philly, |
Or how my neighbours love ICP, |
I guess it’s better than Bancroft Street, |
At least the fridge here works and the walls don’t leak, |
At least I’m starting to see what’s left for me |
I’m starting to, |
We moved on again, |
So I packed all my shit and left home, |
It’s all right to think I still belong to something I don’t, |
'Casue I can see why you’d think so, |
Nothing made me feel further away, |
Than «Left and Leaving"through a blown car stereo, |
Nothing made me feel closer to home, |
Than «Ready to Die"through my headphones, |
So, we reached the coast, |
Where do we sleep tonight? |
Damned if I know, |
We’ll try to stay at the airport, |
«You can’t send us home man, We’ve got no place to go», |
We moved on again, |
So I packed all my shit and left home, |
It’s all right to think I still belong to something I don’t, |
'Cause I can see why you’d think so, |
'Cause I can see why you’d think so, |
Don’t say it’s up to me |
Don’t say it’s up to me |
Don’t say it’s up to me |
Don’t say it’s up to me |
The creeks in the floorboards are calling out to me, |
I’m laying here again, |
with my head on my backpack, |
Wrapped in my hoodie, |
This is how it is when, |
Don’t say it’s up to me, |
Don’t Say, |
We moved on again, |
So I packed all my shit and left home, |
It’s all right to think I still belong to something I don’t, |
'Cause I can see why you’d think so, |
We moved on again, |
So I packed all my shit and left home, |
It’s all right to think I still belong to something I don’t, |
'Cause I can see why you’d think so, |
I stacked «Lonelier than God"next to «You Get So Alone Sometimes», |
I know how this must look from the outside, |
It took almost thirteen months for me to be where I feel fine, |
I’m not as sad as I let myself believe sometimes. |
