"Dashboard" lyrics

"Dashboard"

You always went looking for an easy way out
Leave the pain you can't solve with the folks you let down

Like the world just restarts, like the clock just resets
Like we all just move on, like we all just forget

And you tell yourself lies, and disguise them as facts
It'll hurt half as much if you drive twice as fast

Just when you think that the road's straight ahead
Is when the devil shows up on your dashboard again

Look at you go, crossin' state lines with your shadow
Tryna run away
Change your zipcode
Turns out that you're still an asshole

All your new friends look a lot like your last
(I wonder why)
Took all those loose ends, made 'em sandalwood beads 'round your neck
(Douche)

Just when you think that the road's straight ahead
Is when the devil shows up on your dashboard again

Look at you go, crossin' state lines with your shadow
Tryna run away
Change your zipcode
Turns out that you're still an asshole

It ain't our fault that you aren't
Suddenly somebody else 'cause you worked on yourself
Got a dog
You're an asshole after all

Look at you go, crossin' state lines with your shadow
Trying to run away
Change your zipcode
Turns out that you're just an asshole

It ain't our fault that you aren't
Suddenly somebody else 'cause you worked on yourself
Got a dog
You're an asshole after all
