[Verse 1]
It's such a shame music's based on popularity
The people feel the need to stare at me
I wanna tell them it's all right
But I can't bear to be here anymore

[Chorus]
The city gives, the city takes
All the mistakes that we made
And turns them into hate
We find ways to deviate
But I guess I'm trying to figure out who I am

[Verse 2]
Substance, give me the chance to walk a mile in her smile
In her frame of my mind, what's that like?
I wanna tell myself that it's all right
But I can't think, no, no, I can't see myself anymore
The handle's been taken off the door

[Chorus - Variation]
The poison gives, the poison takes
It's not a mistake that I made
It was a choice we were livin' in
Oh, baby, don't forget that we were livin' in sin
But it felt like a home that I could run to
[Bridge]
Oh, god, here it goes again
I'm coming down
Down to the river to baptize myself
With the Green River Killer's hand

[Outro]
If the train come to take me away from this place
Now that I'm home, don't want not though
I can change on my own
Two legs, take them from me and I have nothing

Nothing will ever change
