Open Attic from Convertible Life by MARLBORO

Open the attic this season
Give me one more reason
To feel the way I did back in high school

Pull the stairs out from the ceiling
I get an awful feeling
The golden days have all gone grey today

Life is getting scary
Conor’s getting married
And Jesse’s all caught in his lighting coma

Some did four years of college
Some did four years of drugging
And in the end we all have changed

Open the attic this season,
Give me one more reason
To feel the way I did back in high school

Its so 2008 in the hometown pizza place
When I go in
No face has changed

It kinda makes me freak
And then instantly warms me
As I drop my CD in Bubba’s SUV

Passed out on my parents’ couch
Up on the 3rd floor crawl space where we used to party
It’s a cruel wash of blue
That I keep falling into
Watching the ghosts of my memories as they tease and taught me
It eats me so from inside out
I crack a COORS to wash it down
Cause I know that I can’t join them they exist inside another

Dimension of reality
I think I might be going crazy
Take me back to the Open Attic
Back when I was the only one
Who’d seriously take you to prom
I know now I only feel empty
A ghostly floating body
I’m ready for the ending
I’m ready for this ending
Cause I’ll never be
Brand New.
