lyrics

Overcome by an overwhelming sense of obligation
I shredded all my documents and went down to the metro station
I sat down on those plastic seats
where you said that you and I would meet
I watched trains pass by for hours
But gave up when you never showed

Ten years on and no time served and no conviction
I’ve run out of my funds travelling west with no direction
Just shy of being destitute
I place a collect call to you
But no surprises, the line is dead, you’re never any help

Was it love or loneliness
That led me to your arms to rest
Was it trust or fear of death
That made us keep these empty threats?

Stowed away on a semi headed south of the border
Practiced my high school spanish, fading fast as I grow older
Hoping I can start again
I started selling for some new friends
The work is hard, but the money’s good
I guess that this is how it ends

Some nights I think about loading up on weapons
Trekking up to your new house and finally getting some kind of vengeance
But I don’t know where you’ve gone
And all the leads have had it wrong
I just hope you’re sleeping soundly with a knife burried in your back
