Life On the Road: A Punk Rock Odyssey
Lyrics
I miss leaving the office early
I miss the experience of leaving work early.
just to be late for loading the van.
Even though I left work early, I would end up being late for loading the van.
Drive 5 hours, play a show,
Travel for 5 hours, perform at a show.
just to get wasted in the end.
Despite the performance, the ultimate result is getting wasted.
To live on junk food, beer and cigarettes again.
Living a lifestyle involving junk food, beer, and cigarettes.
Malnourished and hungover,
Feeling malnourished and hungover.
five coffees on a stranger's floor.
Having five coffees on a stranger's floor.
Load the van, barely sober,
Loading the van while still being somewhat intoxicated.
thanks and hugs - we're out the door.
Expressing gratitude and farewells as they leave.
In need of sleep we still want more.
Despite needing sleep, the desire for more experiences persists.

Creating music files just to occupy storage space.
My four familiar walls,
Feeling comfortable within familiar walls.
my comfort zone,
Describing the home as a comfort zone.
giving me dead houseplant vibes.
Feeling a sense of stagnation, as indicated by the dead houseplant vibes.
11 out of 10 on a scale of being strange.
Rating oneself as 11 out of 10 on a strange scale.
Miss being jet lagged to shit but high on life,
Missing the experience of being jet-lagged but energized from life.
post drunk depression.
Dealing with the aftermath of post-drunk depression.
It’s hard to live our lives on ifs and buts
Expressing the difficulty of living based on uncertainties and doubts.
and dying passion.
Facing a decline in passion.
A little less lost, a little more tired.
Feeling a bit less directionless but more fatigued.
