Cleaning out my and all them other songs But regardless I hate you 'cause ma!

It's fifteen degrees and it's Eve (little prick just leave) Ma, let me my fucking coat, anything to have each other's goats Why we always at others throats?

I a new life One without a So I'm coming home Well no matter the cost And if the plane down Or if the crew wake me up Just know that I was And I was not to die
Oh if there's songs to sing My will carry me know that I'm alright I was not to die Because I put my faith in my new So I say goodbye cruel world Just that I'm alright I am not to die
I we are who we are Headlights shining in the night I drive on Maybe we took too far, I want a new life
