Alkaline Trio - 5-3-10-4 lyrics

Schoolyard freaks are freezingdown getting teased again

I'm looking back and down and watching it go by

Down at the stockyards cattle screamingthe trains squeak by again

I can feel my breath and I'm so thankful I'm not one of them

The sound of the ground freezing is pounding once again

It comes with the wind that once wiped off our smiles

Alarm clock bells are screaming out the same routine again

Scrape open your eyesrise and fucking shine7 am

Sit downdead weightand wonder

Unsureunsleptuncovered

The new light of dawn discovered by ungrateful eyes

Through 5-3 eyes

Schoolyard freaks are freezingpushed to the ground again

I'm looking up and west for black to fill the sky

The sound of bottles breaking still breaking in my ears

They opened just in time to empty out and gouge away the years

Sit downdead weightand wonder

Unsureunsleptuncovered

The new light of dawn discovered by ungrateful eyes

Through 5-3 eyes

Schoolyard freaks are bleedingdown getting kicked again

I can taste the earth and feel it in my eyes

The sound of cattle screamingstill screaming in my ears

They came in metal coffins -

Chained me up and hacked me off my years

Sit downdead weightand wonder

Unsureunsleptuncovered

The new light of dawn discovered by ungrateful eyes

Through 5-3 eyes
