Lawrence Arms Criminal Lyrics

Criminal Lyrics



My anger is a sign of disgust with myself

A stewing serenade I hear the sirens on their way

The chemicals inside of me just kept on swimming through my veins

Maybe I should make a move and try to leave this all behind

I listen to the absence of noise

Dead summer breeze, I'm inflated with suspicions 

Seems I've identified again the criminal of my intent

Imagine exercising that same routine you reinvent

I'm just a cold face on the street

slow and somber in my patterns

I'm just a friend you'll never meet 

I am the love that never happens

My days exist in meaningless ways

I need a way to shake this

I'm making lost time famous

My heart goes rushing to my head whatever happened to me

Weeks spin forward I'm aware that I've been living in reverse

I always hesitate like the future is engraved

Roots here grow really deep they're networked beneath the city streets

It's a structured kind of madness

I always turn away back to a safer fate

I always hesitate
