Criminal Lyrics - Lawrence Arms

My anger is a sign of disgust with myself 

A stewing serenade I hear the sirens on their way 

The chemicals inside of me just kept on swimming through my veins 

Maybe I should make a move and try to leave this all behind 

I listen to the absence of noise 

Dead summer breeze, I'm inflated with suspicions 

Seems I've identified again the criminal of my intent 

Imagine exercising that same routine you reinvent 

I'm just a cold face on the street 

slow and somber in my patterns 

I'm just a friend you'll never meet 

I am the love that never happens 

My days exist in meaningless ways 

I need a way to shake this 

I'm making lost time famous 

My heart goes rushing to my head whatever happened to me 

Weeks spin forward I'm aware that I've been living in reverse 

I always hesitate like the future is engraved 

Roots here grow really deep they're networked beneath the city streets 

It's a structured kind of madness 

I always turn away back to a safer fate 

I always hesitate
