lyrics

If it was crime to lie and deceive I'd need a hundred cells for all the men I've been
If self loathing was a sin I wouldn't care all that much cause I abandoned God in the New Mexican sun

I hope I choke and I hope you miss me
A drink and a smoke for the road
I hope it makes me happy
I don't know where I'll go but the coast sounds like gold
I won't come home till I know what I'm doing

I abandoned myself when somebody said that to truly live you must first brush with death
I'm learning why I'm hurting and I'm finding my muse but I can't find my purpose or at least not the truth

I hope I choke and I hope you miss me
A drink and a smoke for the road
I hope it makes me happy
I don't know where I'll go but the coast sounds like gold
I won't come home till I know what I'm doing

If I can make it past the border, burns, and foliage
Then I can finally start to feel at home
Cause my demons have been scratching at my door
But no more

I hope I choke and I hope you miss me
A drink and a smoke for the road
I hope it makes me happy
I don't know where I'll go but the coast sounds like gold
I won't come home till I know what I'm doing
