Alkaline Trio - Smokestack Lyrics

Filled myself with soot from top to bottom
I'm a smokestack
Turnin' blood into booze
Now my liver's on fumes
Little alcoholic
I'm always beating myself up
Why did I have to play so rough?
I tried to get the hell out
And I'm standin' in my own way

No, we can't skip school anymore
Do you miss those days at all?
I miss starting up fires
Throwing bottles at trains
Pissing on convenience store walls
Well, it was time for me to go home
Let's go and make some flyers for our third floor show
Mom and dad can wait
This is the path that we chose

Do you really believe that didn't mean anything?
Now do you really believe those days didn't mean a thing?
'Cause I'm still believin', that means everything
Do you really believe those days didn't mean a thing?
'Cause I sure don't
Made my life
You changed my life
It changed my life

Well, I was scared as hell as I was standing
At that open bar
I saw a life go past that I guess I coulda had
But I didn't try very hard
You see, I knew you two would last
Why did you have to jump so fast?
Now put the baby to bed
'Cause it's time for me to go home

Do you really believe that didn't mean anything?
Do you really believe those days didn't mean a thing?
'Cause I'm still believin', that means everything
Do you really believe those days didn't mean a thing?
'Cause I sure don't
It made my life
You changed my life
You changed my life
You changed my life
