Lyrics Alkaline Trio

Alkaline Trio

5-3-10-4

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 a.m.

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.
