Gates Lyrics - On The Impossible Past - The Menzingers

I am the pain that beats through your temples 

Every morning when you wake up 

I am the boy with alcohol poisoning 

From all the parties Chris would throw 

That summer that they took us in 

Like every other American 

For getting drunk in back of the Lion's Club 

Waiting for the shitty bands to finish up 

Then some kids played hacky sack 

while the others just got high 

It's not hard to fall for a waitress 

When you both smoke 

Smoke the same cigarettes 

You'll get seated as diners and lovers 

You'll get the check as friends for the better 

You'll carve your names into the Paupack Cliffs 

Just read them when you get old enough to know 

that happiness is just a moment 

So I'm marching up to your gates today 

To throw my lonely soul away 

'Cause I don't need it 

You can take it back 

And they will make examples out of us 

Like when they caught you in the CVS parking lot 

But I fed the liars 

Everything I got in my cabinet brain 

of canned thoughts 

Everything I've got 

It was everything I've got 

In my cabinet brain 

So I'm marching up to your gates today 

To throw my lonely soul away 

'Cause I don't need it 

You can take it back 

Yeah I don't need it 

You can take it back
