Mr. Chainsaw Lyrics - From Here To Infirmary - Alkaline Trio

When was it that you lost your youth or traded 

It for something more for them to use, so jaded 

Why is it that you never said I love you more than just a friend? 

I pray this gridlock never ends and when we get there just depends 

I found out recently that you are leaving 

For good I hope I softly tell my ceiling 

It's better now to be alive, sleeping is my 9 to 5 

I'm having nightmares all the time of running out of words that rhyme 

Everything that you could never say 

Would never matter anyway 

I took a hammer and two nails to my eardrums long ago 

Before that steak knife took my eyes 

I looked up to the sky 

For the last thing I would ever see 

For the last time I'd cry

When was it that you sold your life or wasted 

Every bite of that small slice you never tasted? 

I guess I should be one to talk, there's nights that I can't even walk 

There's days I couldn't give a fuck and in between is where I'm stuck 

From blocks away I heard somebody screaming 

That small child inside of you that you left bleeding 

You stabbed him up not once but twice, cubicles will now suffice 

Some say it's the roll of the dice, I think they're wrong, I know I'm right 

Every breath that I could barely breathe 

Could barely make it past my teeth 

I took a blowtorch to both of my lungs a long, long time ago 

And every step that I could take is one more difficult to make 

Mr. Chainsaw came and took my legs a long, long time ago
