Railroaded Lyrics - Singles - Matthew Ryan

Well, I smoked my 

Throat out last night 

Hoping you'd call 

Or just stop by 

Now, I'm wheezing 

Like the Oakland sky 

Feeling like 

The rusted tracks 

And forgotten dream 

Of the old train lines 

It's a perpetual stone 

In my shoe 

One that I'll always 

Be trying to shake loose 

An ache in my chest 

And a thorn in my side 

More than a scratch 

Beneath this skin 

Somewhere between 

The beginning and the end 

I don't feel a lot lately 

I don't feel whole lately 

I don't feel much lately 

That's how I hide 

That's how I hide 

You wrote it down not to 

Draw attention to yourself 

You let the pilot just 

To blow it out 

Here the conversation's 

Always too loud 

And we're as pathetic as the jumper 

That listens to the crowd 

To say I miss you 

Wouldn't be enough 

I feel like Tom Waits 

Singing, 'Diamonds and rust' 

And I'm as pathetic as a junkie 

Who knows what he does 

It's a perpetual stone 

In my shoe 

One that I'll always 

Be trying to shake loose 

An ache in my chest 

And a thorn in my pride 

More than a scratch 

Beneath this skin 

Somewhere between 

The beginning and the end 

I don't feel a lot lately 

I don't feel whole lately 

I don't feel much lately 

But that's how I hide 

That's how I hide
