"No Brakes" lyrics

April blooming, white jasmine spills over
On to the worn out floral pattern couch
Where I have been waiting
Hey, kid, I think our vessel is sinking under the weight
Of our dark as black coffee spiked with cheap whiskey thinking
I stand up at the front of your bed pull down the sleeves
On my beat up black and white wool sweater
I'm squeezing the little red marks on my wrist where I've made some mistakes

Minds blank and limbs bruised
Stomachs full of black coffee and plantains
In the thick smoky fog of your bedsheets
We have dug our graves
Seattle is just around the corner
I feel excited and nervous
And a little bit cornered
We shave each others' heads to escape the heat
And take to the streets

And we rise in the late morning on new year's day
To our feast of leftovers and falling back to sleep
In the sun in your front yard I think about how long it's been
Since I've felt so full and safe and warm
And I ride downtown on my bike all the same
With my headphone in Eyehategod and no brakes
Days like these got me smiling so hard it hurts my face
I'm going to wake up tomorrow, whatever it takes
