Cex - Way Back Machine lyrics

Sometimes you can't avoid the backslide I've been mining through my boyhood fantasies And finding that some of them still feel good to me Still fit perfect, working like a charm Draped around my shoulders, old friends keep me warm In my parents car Five full years of screaming with the stereo up So when i run i just push pedals, my feet barely budge I've trid keeping the world out Of my sovereign nation station wagon The place where i felt safe and keep moving The scenery changes so i don't have to Still can't drink, stil convinced If I don't do it myself doing it's worthless Cuz the rug will come out in the end from under You set yourself up when you're counting on others I'm not sad, i'm pa**ed desensitized Friends drop like flies, they've got their own lives And at the end of the day it's just me and my flat line Send electricity, let me not smile Let something puncture the numbing force field We erect as young men to protect how we feel I've been mining by boyhood dreams And i found one that never made sense to me Up until now That car takes a corner carelessly Tearing its wheels from the street From the air to the trees by the side of the road Twisted heaps of debris, shattered gla** And the cold wet gra** on my face Some blood in my mouth, the taste washed out By the headlights pa**ing on by I'm lying, resting in the wreckage Half asleep and completely defenseless No protection from scavengers, weather And a few days of rain Which worsens the smell of it all But no one complains, a crew will be called To scrape these remains eventually Some cars slow down and kids crane their necks to see Most just swerve left unimpressed, forgetting me You can make your very own poisonous, despicable man Begin by keeping him a boy for as long as you can And when the voice in his head says that everything's wrong Let him think we'd be convinced but only with the right song
