Alkaline Trio - 5-3-10-4 lyrics

Schoolyard freaks are freezing
Down getting teased again
I'm looking back and down and
Watching it go by
Down at the stockyards, cattle screaming
The trains squeak by again
I can see my breath and I'm so
Thankful I'm not one of them

The sound of the ground freezing
Is pounding once again
It comes with the wind that
Once wiped off our smiles
Alarm clock bells are screaming out
The same routine again
Scrape open your eyes, rise
And fucking shine, 7 AM

Sit down, dead weight, and wonder
Unsure, unslept, uncovered
The new light of dawn
Discovered by ungrateful eyes
Through 5-3 eyes

Schoolyard freaks are freezing
Pushed to the ground again
I'm looking up and west for
Black to fill the sky
The sound of bottles breaking still
Breaking in my ears
They opened just in time to empty
Out and gouge away the years

Sit down, dead weight, and wonder
Unsure, unslept, uncovered
The new light of dawn
Discovered by ungrateful eyes
Through 5-3 eyes

Schoolyard freaks are bleeding
Down getting kicked again
I can taste the earth and feel it in my eyes
The sound of cattle screaming
Still screaming in my ears
They came in metal coffins
Chained me up and hacked me off my years

Sit down, dead weight, and wonder
Unsure, unslept, uncovered
The new light of dawn
Discovered by ungrateful eyes
Through 5-3 eyes
