lyrics

truly i am something special
with my greasy hair and scabbed knees
to open my eyes to everything
and take it in for all that it seems
all that it seems

i make wishes, i make wishes every night
at the same time, waiting for something good to happen
i’m unlucky, i’m unlucky every time and now
i’m broke sleeping all alone every night
got no money, i got no money left, but i hope i get by
rather be broke and happy, than get rich and die inside
but yet i die inside

you don’t know, you don’t know the mess that i’m in
dig me out, dig me out i don’t wanna go back again
got nothing left, nothing left but a pocket full of memories
i pull them out, pull them out but never find peace

what is special to your belief?
the dollar signs, or the hole that you sleep in
side of us all, inside of us all, inside of us all

you don’t know, you don’t know the mess that i’m in
if i was gone, if i was gone, would anyone give a shit?
got nothing left, nothing left but a pocket full of memories
i pull them out, pull them out but never find peace
no, no i don't
