Alkaline Trio - Smokestack lyrics

[Alkaline Trio - Smokestack lyrics]

Filled myself with soot from top to bottom
I'm a smokestack turning blood into booze
Now my liver's on fumes little alcoholic
I'm always beating myself up
Why did I have to play so rough?
I tried to get the hell out
And I'm standing in my own way
No, we can't skip school anymore
Do you miss those days at all?
I miss starting up fires
Throwing bottles at trains
Pissing on convenience store walls
Well it was time for me to go home
Let's go and make some flyers
For our third floor show
Mom and dad can wait
This is the path that we chose

Do you really believe that
Didn't mean anything?
Now do you really believe those
Days didn't mean a thing?
'Cause, I'm still believing
That means everything
Do you really believe those days
Didn't mean a thing? 'Cause, I sure don't
You made my life you changed my life
You changed my life

Well, I was scared as hell as I was standing
At that open bar i saw a life go past that
I guess I could've had
But, I didn't try very hard
You see, I knew you two would last
Why did you have to jump so fast?
Now put the baby to bed
'Cause it's time for me to go home

Do you really believe that
Didn't mean anything?
Now do you really believe those
Days didn't mean a thing?
'Cause, I'm still believin'
That means everything
Do you really believe those days
Didn't mean a thing? 'Cause, I sure don't
You made my life you changed my life
You changed my life you changed my life
