Turning 29 Was A Mistake

from Shitty People & Toothache EP by The Murderburgers

/

lyrics

Take me back to the good old days where my face would bleed for no reason
And the doctor called me a “medical puzzle”, as if that’s something anyone wants to hear
Or let me relive my glory years where I used to live in Charlie’s kitchen
Through in Glasgow and those rich crusties shaved off my eyebrows for being poor
Because I’d prefer that to this place thats foundation is made of cat shit and piss
The severe lack of sleep is making it hard for me not to notice
That I’m essentially rotting out
Maybe right enough I just deserve to die here
Even though the front door is right there the way out is unclear
What the fuck happened to this year?

Now shitty people and toothache are the only things keeping me awake
The former is the only thing that’s making me think that turning 29 was a mistake
And that graffiti on New Street is my only saving grace
When I walk past it drunk some nights I swear it seems to come alive
And makes me forget about all the times I’ve died

I guess this is what happens when you say yes when you’re desperate
To lay your head down anywhere else
But I’m so fucking tired of feeling upset, and so tired of making notes to self
I miss passing notes with Brandon and drinking flavoured vodka with Kyle
And everyone and everything that makes this all worthwhile
But I’ll just keep on sonically moaning for now
And keep hoping this will fix itself somehow

So many warning signs when I look back
But I guess it doesn’t matter now that these shitty people have robbed me
Of every penny to my name
With no regrets or empathy, when it’s clear there’s nowhere else to point the blame
I swear I’ll be gone in the morning
I want to be anywhere else but here
But I’m going to bed now, let me rot.
