Ground Down

[Intro]
[Verse]
Rain streaks the rusted glass
Broken mugs in the grass
You shared your coat in May
Now everything feels gray
I keep the receipts small
Crumpled against the wall
We used to share the light
Before you lost the fight
[Pre-Chorus]
Eight months of "I’ll find a way"
But you just sleep the day
My tip jar’s light and cold
Your stories getting old
I see the missing tens
Amongst my fake-ass friends
[Chorus]
Pack your cans and leave
I’m done trying to believe
Stealing silver from the tray
Get out of my way
The fuzz is screaming loud
I’m walking through the cloud
Yeah, you’re ground down
Lost in this town
[Post-Chorus]
Ground down
Ground down
[Verse]
Half-empty cans on the rug
Drain every drop from the jug
You said you had a lead
But you’re just a mouth to feed
I smell the stale smoke
Life is a cruel joke
Your resume is blank
I’m not your private bank
[Pre-Chorus]
The Wurlitzer hits a chord
I’m finally getting bored
Of the drama and the debt
Of the things I’ll forget
Take your shadow off the floor
Head out the front door
[Chorus]
Pack your cans and leave
I’m done trying to believe
Stealing silver from the tray
Get out of my way
The fuzz is screaming loud
I’m walking through the cloud
Yeah, you’re ground down
Lost in this town
[Bridge]
You bought me soup once
I felt like such a dunce
Thinking you were kind
Thinking we were aligned
Was it just a deposit?
Skeletons in the closet
Well, the tab is closed today
I’m throwing the keys away
[Solo]
[Chorus]
Pack your cans and leave
I’m done trying to believe
Stealing silver from the tray
Get out of my way
The fuzz is screaming loud
I’m walking through the cloud
Yeah, you’re ground down
Lost in this town
[Post-Chorus]
Ground down
Ground down
I’m losing my frown
Ground down
[Outro]
