on Thursday
charge as credit ’til they drop the paycheck
at midnight
got my shift in the morning, early start, 5am
prep the pots, pull the shots, try to show you

haven’t got the wisdom to navigate all of the fallout
still haven’t rid myself of the shadow that is you
i promise, baby, i’m trying
to see the bright side of this dark age
i promise, baby, i’m trying
to shut off the brain

to shut off the brain
shut off the brain
off the brain
the brain
to shut off the brain
shut off the brain
off the brain
the brain

don’t scare yourself to death, Carly Beth
drive away when you’re able
leave them high from the exhaust—
—ion that they left on you
it takes three hours
to get from Chehalis to Bremerton—
by train is the way because
my engine is shot

it’s been a real shit week
where everything happened
and it was so bad it made me think
about you constantly
so hard to focus on the game
with you on my mind
again and again, again and again
again and again, again and again
try to shut of my brain
shut off my brain, shut off my brain

to shut off the brain
shut off the brain
off the brain
the brain
to shut off the brain
shut off the brain
off the brain
the brain

on Thursday
charge as credit ’til they drop the paycheck

those sleepless nights all alone with you
those nighttime rides all alone with you
still haven’t caught up to what i’m missing
running on empty, can’t afford no place to go
those sleepless nights all alone with you
ripped away

haven’t got the wisdom to navigate all of the fallout
still haven’t rid myself of the shadow that is you
