Lyrics:

I’ll take a nicotine, caffeine, sugar fix.
Jesus, don’t ya git tired of turnin’ tricks?
But when your innocence dies you’ll find the blues
Seems all our heroes were born to lose.
Just walkin’ through time, you believe this heat?
Another empty house, another dead end street.
Gonna rest my bones, sit for a spell.
This side of heaven, this close to hell. Right next door to hell.
Why don’t you write a letter to me?
I said I’m right next door to hell,
an’ so many eyes are on me, yeah.
Right next door to hell.
got nowhere else to be.
Right next door to hell,
feels like the walls are closing in on me. My mama never really said much to me,
She was much too young and scared ta be.
Hell, “Freud” might say that’s what I need,
But all I really ever get is greed.
An’ most my friends, they feel the same.
Hell, we don’t even have ourselves to blame.
But times are hard and thrills are cheaper.
As your arms get shorter, your pockets get deeper. Right next door to hell.
Why don’t you write a letter to me?
I said I’m right next door to hell,
An’ so many eyes are on me.
Right next door to hell,
I never thought this is where I’d be.
But I’m right next door to hell.
Thinkin’ time’ll stand still for me. Fuck you,
Bitch! Not bad kids, just stupid ones.
Yeah, thought we’d own the world
an’ gettin’ used was havin’ fun.
I said we’re not sad kids, just lucid ones, eah,
flowin’ through life not collectin’ anyone.
So much out there, still so much to see.
Time’s too much to handle, time’s too much for me.
It drives me up the walls, it drives me out of my mind.
Can you tell me what this means… huh?
