Dead End Road Lyrics
I thought that you were joking
When you said, you couldn't breathe
You said, you couldn't breatheTurns out that you were choking
On a town you couldn't leave
You knew you'd never leaveIt met your disapproval
At the age of 8 years old
You were only 8 years oldFrom then on there was no removal
From that one way dead end road
That one way dead end roadI thought that you were laughing
When you cried your eyeballs out
You cried your eyeballs outAnd I don't mean to be prying
But what were you so sad about
What are you still sad aboutMet your disappointment
At the age of 9 years old
You were only 9 years oldFrom then on there would be no ointment
To take away these burns, to make that pain grow dull
And forever ain't that longWhen your smile's stuck
In your head like a pop song
All you think about is deathYour dirty head has gone unswept
For way too long now
For way too long nowI thought that you were sleeping
When I found you there in bed
I found you there in bedWhen I touched you you were freezing
It turned out that you were dead
It turned out that you were deadIt met your disapproval
At the age of 8 years old
You were only 8 years oldFrom then on there was no removal
From your fucked up head and your broken home
Ad forever ain't that longWhen your smile's stuck
In your head like a pop song
All you think about is deathYour dirty head has gone unswept
For way too long now
For way too long now
For way too long now
For way too long now
