I went back to the north carrying nothing
Eyes everywhere, someone’s always watching
We scuttled the planet, the floodgates opened
Painted the house, my grip starts to loosen
And I can feel this overwhelming indifference
And it’s my fault, there was nothing in it for me
It was selfish, thought I was too cool to believe
If I can’t fix myself, can I fix anything
For better or for worse
We get what we deserve
I’m stuck at the border, don’t know where I should be
I want to know every plan, I want to know where the doors lead
My neighbour’s a cop and so is his family
Dropping bombs on a school, the drone pilot is friendly
They don’t protect, they just execute them
And it’s my fault, there was nothing in it for me
It was selfish, thought I was too cool to believe
If I can’t fix myself, can I fix anything
For better or for worse
We get what we deserve

I don’t talk to my cousins
I sat through renovations, you’re speaking my language
Why on earth would you ever want to say this
I used to think I was kind, I used to think I was patient
I’m just a force that’s aimless
If I had gone somewhere else, I would have been just as bad or worse
No one ever wants to do it, but someone has to go first
I watched taxi driver
I took the bump and fell, I played myself
I watched the big risks that they took work out
Jack of one trade, master of nothing else
Wearing real nice shirts in corporate hell
If I had gone somewhere else, I would have been just as bad or worse
No one ever wants to do it, but someone has to go first
I want me to go, I want to know what it’s like to lose it all

I never really could go with the flow
I don’t think I could ever ride that wave
There comes a time in every person’s life where all purpose and direction gets ripped away
When will I know that I’ve really hit rock bottom
When will I know that I’ve really reached that stage
Why do I feel like this fragile world that I’ve created
Is getting closer to unraveling every day
I’m a trash human being
Put me back where you found me
Uber ride takes me home from the bar
Tried not to lose it in their car
My brain now sports a brand new scar
Stumble down onto the grass and wonder
Why can't I see the stars?
3 AM I've been out way too long
This sickly feeling came on way too strong
Barely audible I sing this song
Won't someone come and pick me up
And put trash where it belongs?
I am the trash man
(Put trash where it belongs)
I am the trash man
(Put trash where it belongs)
I am the I am the I am the trash man

Headglow - Burnout

Wheels fall in the same rut where I've always been
Faceless man unlocks the door to let me in
Bury my face in this screen, I'm a useless machine
I'm a useless machine
As a kid, I used to say
I'd grow up to do great things someday
Where is that kid now? Did I let him down?
Yeah I let him down
You can't burn out without a fire
Watch the smoke pour from my tires
I guess this is my funeral pyre
Sitting here in my basement
Playing my guitar is no replacement
For the therapy I need
For the therapy I need
You can't burn out without a fire
Watch the smoke pour from my tires
I guess this is my funeral pyre

You need to face up to the fact
All around you this world is changing fast
You're old you're grey you're past your prime
You thought you'd live forever now you're running out of time
You're just some relic from the past
And your time has come at last
You think it matters what you say
You think that you're important but you're less so every day
You've wandered off the path and lost your way
The rope you're clinging onto has now begun to fray
When you fight back it's out of spite
And you must know that isn't right
