Justin Hulsey Packrat Pretends lyrics

Like a dress that doesn't fit
Everybody wants to see you where it
Just smile for the camera

When I was young I wanted love
So naive to what it's made of
Just a castle in the air

No slippers made of glass
No midnight coming fast
Just a pumpkin and a rat

I need something for the shakes
I sleep while I'm awake
And I dream that I'm alive

Don't pry too far inside my mind
I'm afraid of what you might find
Just a pair of cloud covered crows

So I'd like another fill
Of those over to counter confidence pills
And I'll see you in one week

28 and losing time
Still trying to find that piece of mind
In a house of everlasting past


But you can only push and pull so much
Before a touch is a touch too much
And the blinds are too bright for you

I want a place that I can call mine
I want a home removed from time
So I can let myself go

When everybody wants to be like you
It's hard enough just to be like me
Somebody said something about the devil
I'm saying something about a human being
I wish that I could run away
I wish that I could run away

I'm gonna smoke this cigarette
I'm gonna drink until I forget
Then I'm gonna walk right out the door

From where I was in Kansas City
To where I am in Tennessee
To where I've never been before
