Railroaded Lyrics - Singles - Ryan Matthew

Well I smoked my throat out last night 

Hoping you'd call or just stop by 

Now I'm wheezing like the Oakland sky 

Feeling like the rusted tracks and forgotten dream of the old train lines 

It's a perpetual stone in my shoe 

One that I'll always be trying to shake loose 

An ache in my chest and a thorn in my side 

More than a scratch beneath this skin 

Somewhere between the beginning and the end 

I don't feel a lot lately 

I don't feel whole lately 

I don't feel much lately 

But that's how I hide 

That's how I hide 

You wrote it down not to draw attention to yourself 

You lit the pilot just to blow it out 

Here the conversation's always too loud 

And we're as pathetic as the jumper that listens to the crowd 

To say I miss you wouldn't be enough 

I feel like Tom Waits singing Diamonds & Rust 

And I'm as pathetic as a junkie who knows what he does 

It's a perpetual stone in my shoe 

One that I'll always be trying to shake loose 

An ache in my chest and a thorn in my side 

More than a scratch beneath this skin 

Somewhere between the beginning and the end 

I don't feel a lot lately 

I don't feel whole lately 

I don't feel much lately 

But that's how I hide 

That's how I hide
