I Live in This Place - Mark Eitzel

I live in this place

and I wont be leaving anytime soon

I’ll be doing this

the rest of my live

give me back the last couple 20 years

it melted away like ice on my tongue

melted away like all the fun

melted away like all those who love me

melted away like all those i put above me

but everything gets old — though I like the money

every night I stumble home to a room

just in time to watch the countdown spin

spinning like a rare butterfly whose heart holds the pin

like a gambler who bet everything on a win

I knew I’d be doing this the rest of my life

I knew I’d be doing this the rest of my life

I knew I’d be in this place the rest of my life
