"Alcohol And Adderall" lyrics

"Alcohol And Adderall"

I used to love a girl who danced for money
She'd come up to my room when she was high
Count her cash at the kitchen table
And I'd try to bridge the distance in her eyes

She'd stare out the window at the highway
As the early morning truckers chased the dawn
She'd let her cigarette burn in the ashtray
Sink into herself, and she'd be gone

Alcohol and adderall the pride that comes before the fall
Emptiness and all the damage done
Matches and gasoline, tripwire, broken things
Wars that can't be won, let me tell you something hon
Like a bullet from a gun, some things can't be outrun

I sit out on the porch now in the evening
As the shadows grow long and disappear
That old familiar lonely, crawls up in me
I think of her as the night draws near

Alcohol and adderall the pride that comes before the fall
Emptiness and all the damage done
Matches and gasoline, trip wire, broken things
Wars that can't be won, gotta tell you something hon
Like a bullet from a gun, some things can't be outrun
