lyrics

I know it's easy to stay the same
but if you're unhappy then make a change
yeah, I made a mistake
but at the time of it's birth I wanted it that way.

now, you sit outside my window
howling like a dog
though I can't see you,
you're still on my mind.

unless I do this for myself,
I will never ever truly change
so, I'll stay here in the middle
just drinking away my pain.

it's the way I'm cursed to believe
everything is the way I perceive
say I'm the victim
but I should have know better

goddamn, goddamn.

it's getting harder and harder
to not take the easy way out
but my father he still loves me
he knows my pain, and prays
while I drink my life away.

away.

about

Ben Hughes New Jersey

"...channels musicians like Elliott Smith, Bright Eyes, and Sufjan Stevens, as on Hughes’ previous releases. But this record immediately calls to mind Pedro the Lion’s Control, with its deep-voiced chords and melodies, lyrical themes of corporate hell, and Hughes’ slurring voice. It could stand as a complimentary album to Control just as well as it stands on its own."
