[Intro]
 


[Verse 1]

   And half th

e time I want 

to go home

   And half th

e time I want 

to go home

   For the pas

t year I’ve be

en living in a

 town
That gets a lot of tourists in the summer months
      
They come and 

they stay for 

a couple of da

ys
But hey, I’m living here every day
        
I don’t need t

he complicatio

ns, I’m just i

n it for the b

eating
It’s almost a point of pride
              
They say that 

              
it doesn’t hap

          
pen that often
Pure sadism, pure sadism, pure sadism, pure sadism


[Verse 2]

   I find it h

arder to speak

   When someon

e else is list

ening
       
In the back of

 a medicine ca

binet
You can find your life story and your future in the side effects

I haven’t play

ed guitar in m

onths
My strings all broke
           
They got a por

trait by Van G

[Verse 4]
            
   I find it e

              
asier to sleep

              
 (And half the

              
 time I want t

     
o go home)
When I'm not holding the noise machine
              
(And half the 

              
time I want to

    
 go home)
                            N.C.
And half the time, I’m like THIS -
They’ll send in Matt. CAPtain Trash!
