Lyrics

Rodent

I wanna be more discreet, I want em all to quit following me In the walls held captive, lives a mouse I don't have the guts to kick him out In the bars where I live, lives someone Who I woulda hated when I was young When I swore life had a purpose When I was sure the whole things worth it Damn the days we took for granted Never again will I let anyone close to me Me and the rodent in the wall have more in common after all So burn the fucker down, I don't care anymore I'll let it all go Cause if this is what you want, I understand Good luck with the guilt left on your hands I've tried running, I've tried hiding I've tried everything but dying Damn the days we took for granted Never again will I let anyone close to me Yeah me and the rodent in the wall have more in common after all I am only bad news I am only bad news, news for you

From Dork

The Menzingers on Dork

The Menzingers have announced their new album ‘Everything I Ever Saw’ with ‘Chance Encounters’

Punk veterans return with Will Yip-produced LP led by single 'Chance Encounters'.

The Menzingers have shared a new cut from their seventh album - check out 'Try'

Their new full-length is coming very soon indeed (tomorrow).

The Menzingers: "It starts to get a little bit crazy when you try to make sense of it all"

With 'Some Of It Was True', The Menzingers trade nostalgia for a brutally honest exploration of life in the present.

The Menzingers have announced their seventh album with new single, 'Hope Is A Dangerous Little Thing'

Their new full-length is coming in October.
