Acne/Ears Songtext
von Roadside Graves

There were days
When I′d stay home from school
Had acne on my back and on my face
Some boys are filled
With piss and vinegar
Some boys are filled
With just puss and blood

Don't expect you
To understand where I came from

I′m just happy your listening
I'd listen to music
Stare at the mirror
At the decay
And holes in my skin
Drop a needle
Into some alcohol
Pin and prick
Then scratch and stick
The cuts on my cheek


Are where the scars came in
To this day, don't do anything well
I just separate myself
In different ways
But I leave the house
Even when i′ve had enough
We used the static
From your sister′s TV
Before we could afford the amps
We'd write songs

In the basement
Stamp out the covers in the attic
Record them on cassettes
Then pass out to our friends
Somebody put some more duck tape on this mike stand
Ears are meant to be destroyed by boys in basements making noise
Somebody please wake up those girls int he back on their phones
Ears are meant to be destroyed by boys in basements making noise
Baby, baby, baby I know I can′t sing
Close your eyes and it just might sound ok

Ears are meant to be destroyed by boys in basements making noise
