"California Sober" lyrics

"California Sober"

A poison's in the dose
Kisses hit you here in finger quotes
Among the mediocre
California sober
Dreaming all the water they can drop

You and all your deadbeat dads
Only driving 'cause the traffic ain't too bad
Tell us how you manage
Find your missing baggage
Hammers only see another nail

Hammers only see another nail
Hammers only see another nail
Hammers only see another nail
Hammers only see another nail
Hammers only see another nail
Hammers only see another nail

Cry when the feeling comes
Coming for everyone
Doesn't care where your money's from
Doesn't care where it goes

There when you close your eyes
Busy being the bump at night
Gathering all of your suicides
When it's feeling alone
Says what it has to say
It'll talk your whole life away
Couldn't care about falling rain
Being soaked to the bone
It'll go and come back again
That pain in your phantom limbs
Doesn't care about how long it's been
When it's headed for home

You and your December brides
Wondering when you broke the speed of light
What'd you think would happen?
Circling the wagons
Leaving all your feathers in the wind?
Leaving all your feathers in the wind?
Leaving all your feathers in the wind?

Leaving all your feathers in the wind?
