lyrics

think i was about 19 when i left this place
fresh outa rehab confused and running away
mighta had something to do with the non stop rain
or the grey buildings and seasonal depression driving me insane

hit the streets i lived in my van ate out of garbage cans
or whatever else i could find, if its not family then its something else
forcing me back and making me look behind

Wish i was on my way back to anywhere
but here, vancouver you keep me bloody
kept me tuck tailed and running
but im back for another round

if i cant stay sober i cant stay anyplace
but ill take anyplace right now
cause where im going i dont want to be showing
the war behind my eyes
think its the 3rd time ive left
and come back, well im never happy about it
but this place never lacks certain amenities like
old friends, free couches, lost dogs, cheap drugs and funerals
what the needle didnt take, time certainly has

wish i was on my way back to anywhere
but here vancouver you keep me bloody
kept my tuck tailed and running
but im back for another round

vancouver
rain and overdoses
everyone that i love has a multiple diagnosis
vancouver
all my friends are homeless
thousands walk the streets under millon dollar apartments

wish i was on my way back to anywhere
but here vancouver you keep me bloody
kept my tuck tailed and running
but im back for another round

about

Skum Shine

Smoking cigarettes in bed. Eating Kraft Dinner out of the pot. Writing words on cardboard and holding it so people have to read it. Picking up instruments. Putting down instruments. Relentless existential anxiety. Brown rice.
