about

"This one came together really quickly. It pretty obviously carries a lot of emotional weight, and also seems to act as a catharsis for folks who hear it. It’s a broad stroke of what intolerance and shame can create in a bible-belt, prairie town. Lots of imagery from my childhood, church and the bottom of a glass."

lyrics

Wake up too late
How the hell did I get back home
Lipstick stains, ashtray
Can’t bear to throw anything of yours out

Buying cocaine outside the circle K
Who cares if it kills me anyway
What’s the point
In staying clean for Christmas

Meet up, same old joint
Drink until I feel like talking
It’s hard to feel, so what’s one more pint
Either way, it’d be nice to feel something

I don’t wanna hate this town
I’m just trying to keep my head down
What’s the point?
When everybody knows your business

I see him turn the lights off in our house
The hell am I supposed to do now?
Goddamn it, I hate myself
Goddamn it, I hate this town

Strip malls, local bank
Street lined up with neon crosses
Fuckin Christians, to be frank,
Think they’re doing everyone a favour

People seem to love god fearing men
The rest of us are on our own, I guess
What’s the point
Of screaming out into nothing

I see him turn the lights off in our house
The hell am I supposed to do now?
You said it was forever,
but what now?
Goddamn it, I hate myself
Goddamn it, I hate this town

I don’t wanna hate this town
Just trying to keep my head down
But what’s the point?
What’s the point?
