The Meteorite EP Lyrics

Morning

I left my love and her sunshine drugs at a convenience store
Thought I wanted more than cigarettes and bread and lottery tickets
My fingers ache 'cause I pulled up stakes
From the only claim where I'd signed my name
I'm hungry and broke and jonesin' and sick

I carry my pride like it is a baby
I carry my pain like it is a seed
I'm wearing this skin like it is my secret
My dust may settle here, but it won't settle me

There is a key. There is a locksmith
There is a window. There is a fist
But I cannot go where I can't be trusted
I cannot keep what I cannot resist

I left my love and her sunshine drugs at a convenience store
Thought I wanted more than the cigarettes and bread and the lottery tickets
My fingers ache 'cause I pulled up stakes
From the only claim where I'd signed my name
Now I'm hungry and broke and jonesin' and sick
If I'm gonna make it 'til morning, it better come quick

My yellow heart is the neighborhood dealer
Your crystal eyes—they are a black-screen TV
I lie awake but I am still a dreamer
You did what you promised you would

And you forgot about me
You forgot about me
You forgot me

I left my love and her sunshine drugs at a convenience store
Thought I wanted more than the cigarettes and bread and the lottery tickets
My fingers ache 'cause I pulled up stakes
From the only claim where I'd signed my name
I am hungry and broke and jonesin' and sick
