Worn So Thin - Alkaline Trio

I’ll start out fresh

A brand new beginning

It goes like this so I

Never finish anything

And all of this was totally worthless

If I get through a week or two, or let’s just say a year or so

'Cause that’s the way these days seem to go and go

And I just feel so helpless

Don’t tell me to just calm down

Now there’s a shortcut right under my skin

And all I want is to freak out

But my apologies are worn so thin

(Hey!)

I’m sorry friend

With all these fucking problems, I should pay you rent

Doors are open in the cell block of my filthy head

And these days I smoke less

Don’t tell me to just calm down

Now there’s a shortcut right under my skin

And all I want is to freak out

But my apologies are worn so thin

Yeah, that’s a quality I’ve worn so thin

When we empty out like paper cups

Yeah, parking lot, it’s hard

To feel like anything but garbage, wasted

Now we empty out (empty out)

And we empty out (empty out)

Until there’s nothing left (nothing left)

'Til there’s nothing left (nothing left)

Don’t tell me to just calm down

Now there’s a shortcut right under my skin

And all I want is to freak out

But my apologies are worn so thin

Don’t tell me to just calm down

Now there’s a shortcut right under my skin

And all I want is to freak out

But my apologies are worn so thin

Yeah, that’s a quality I’ve worn so thin
