lyrics

And the sun is coming up and I am slowly getting sobered from the long night I am drinking with my friends. And I know some of us aren’t happy and that some of us are dead but my head pounds to remind me that there is some life left to live and I am fucking god damn happy I’m alive.

And I was sleepin’ in a bed with 3 of my closest friend, just to wake up to be late to work again. And I will wish my little sister happy birthday. I love you.

And I feel like I’m dreamin’ but

I haven’t slept in a day and a half cause I’m afraid that I won’t wake up again. And I’ll just keep smoking these cigarettes and drink what’s put in my cup in hopes that it brings me closer to god.

And the weathers finally changing, but somehow I’m still stuck inside. And all the roads around my house have gone to hell. I keep saying that I’ll quit my job, but I’m scared that I’ll be happy. We’ll just break our empty bottles then we’ll walk to get some more and I’ll keep coughing like I have for 3 long months.

And I was driving all across metro Detroit just to see all my friends play their hearts out in bands. And we’ll touch everything we see up to the ceiling, and hold it there.

This past weeks given me some hope but

I haven’t slept in a day and a half cause I’m afraid that I won’t wake up again. So I’ll just keep smoking these cigarettes and drink what’s put in my cup in hopes that it brings me closer to god.

And when the water main broke, it forced our neighbors to their homes with what water they could find. We jumped inside your car and we drove to a far off collage towns, just to sit inside an arcade in a basement.

from Some Shit In Our Shoes, released February 15, 2011
The title came from a conversation that Eric Plunkard, Ben LaLiberte, Ian Henderson and myself had in the living room of Ben's then home in Harper Woods, Michigan 48225.

Ben really wanted Eric to play the 'Train Whistle' song, so he screamed this until Eric played it. Immediately after Eric finished, Ben started yelling it again. Eric played that damn song enough times for me to learn all the words then same night that I first heard it. Then we broke bottles in the kitchen.
