Windows Lyrics

[Verse 1]

You texted me in the morning, something simple, said you loved me and your job was fucking boring

I said "ditto", asked about the weather- This plant don't have any windows

Brain cloudy like they forecasting

But we woke up optimistic feeling last night's orgasms

You asked me how I felt, I said "I'm sick"

Drank a half a fifth of Admiral Nelson's- the poor Captains

You asked me if it ever get better

Wasn't sure how to answer but I couldn't say never

So, gave you a "maybe" - you reply with a sad face

But when your life is from 26 years of bad breaks

It's hard to be hopeful, hard to imagine or see anything change so

Instead I wrote you, and told you everything would be okay



[Hook]

Now all I got's a dollar and my name

And lately both are feeling worthless

Its hard to hope without a window open

I'm living broke but I'm not living broken



[Verse 2]

I texted my brother said "What the fuck is up?"

He said he's working but other than its nothing much

Told him I needed money

He said "How fuckin' much?"

"Just for a couple weeks, a couple hundred bucks"

Soon as he told me yes, I thought about

How embarrassing it is when feeling down and out

So I apologized, I said "It's not alright

You're my little brother, one day I'll make it right

But I still need the money though"

He responded with a "lol"- it isn't funny though

Cause I don't know what the hell I'm doing

Been doing this for so long it's feeling normal

I think I relate with that caged bird

That wanted to escape from this gray world

When offered his chance to finally go, he decided to stay- Whats the point without hope?



[Hook]
