I traded sunshine for greener grass and grey skies
Snuck out the back door I always hated saying goodbyes
Back on the old streets I walked a million times
I pass the same freaks and I don't have to apologize
Right back where I started and this living is killing me
Memories of better days are just a fallacy
Right back where I started now and I can't get away
And 10 years down the road it's all the same
I'm sick of lying come on and bury me
I'm sick of dying and I don't even have the disease
Thrift stores and pawn shops abandoned parking lots
Homeless in store fronts on heroin to welcome me home
Right back where I started and this living is killing me
Memories of better days are just a fallacy
Right back where I started now and I can't get away
And 10 years down the road it's all the same
California bled me dry another month I'll just slide by
Or should I even try? This tongue I can't untie
Right back where I started and this living is killing me
Telling me what I can't do is not the smartest thing
Right back where I started now and I can't get away
And 10 years down the road it's not the same
