Verse:
Read and I felt so small, some words keep speaking when you close the book.
Drank and just about smiled, then I remember us in that bed.
Put my ear to the door, I just heard hot rods and gunshots and sirens.
People kill me these days, they have keys in their eyes but they lock from the inside.
Chorus:
