I can't honestly say I'm making it tonight
But I'll give you all that I got
Give you everything despite
I'm not the one who's pleading for my boy to come to life
Reality is taking me this night
Cause there's a man on the side of the road
I saw in the shadow with a hunch
People gather around for a photo op
Pull the curtain back on the end of our two rooms
And I'll lend those eyes
Those eyes
They left us in prey and played below the fucking litter
And escaped this grim reality scene
Just follow what I'm teaching
And you'll see the transformation
Last day
A bus ticket on the street
Well who knows what he could have been
When paying you should get up and play
Play on this Halloween
Anywhere but here I'd rather be
It'll be so welcoming to me
But I don't agree with anything I see
Cause the ball is rolling to his knees
He's repossessing all I need
And anywhere but here I'd rather be
Anywhere but here I'd rather be
Anywhere but here I'd rather be
The check was put on the air in the warm October air
Before they put the chalk man down I must admit
When the truck passed out a toll and they said
"Keep those cameras rolling
We'll be sure to get this on the news at 10."
Climbed the cat up, shaved my gut and said
"It must be what God wanted"
But that kid was eight years old and now he's gone
And if you truly believe that it was his time to leave
I guess I'll be the one to tell you that you're wrong
They left us in prey and played below the fucking litter
And escaped this grim reality scene
Just follow what I'm teaching
And you'll see the transformation
Last day
A bus ticket on the street
Well who knows what he could have been
When paying you should get up and play
Play on this Halloween
Anywhere but here I'd rather be

But I don't agree with anything I see
Cause the ball is rolling to his knees
He's repossessing all I need

Anywhere but here I'd rather be
Anywhere but here I'd rather be
