Just drive I don't care where Leave haunted homes and hearts behind And the stench of wounds hugging damage in my wake And the space you carved for me inside I couldn't stay
It doesn't mean a thing No it doesn't mean a thing
Heaven does not smile for me here anymore Stole a million nights of starlight from your eyes to watch them fade
To watch them fade Won't make a home of misery
Heaven does not smile for me here anymore Stole a million nights of starlight from your eyes to watch them fade
I wrote this just before moving from San Francisco to Brooklyn. One of the hardest songs to write on Jinx. It’s pretty self explanatory – I wanted to leave. Vanish. And leave all the destruction that I caused behind me and just move on. I felt like there was too much history, too much pain and I had to leave. To quote The Whitest Boy Alive: “This city’s no longer mine. There’s sadness written on every corner.”
