Lyrics
Verse 0
Cracked door handle and my patience bleeding
Fuck this suitcase with the busted wheels
Static on the carpet and screams in the hallway
Room reeks of bleach and a thousand cheap meals
Pre-Chorus
Swear jar's overflowing, I'm bankrupt in shame
Checked my ID, even that asshole lied
Chorus
Last night’s disaster wore my ratty old sneakers
Motel desk clerk looked ready to spit
Faithless in flannel and late-night aggression
Flipped both the mattress and my last fuck to give
Post-Chorus
La la la, whatever, I’m doomed
La la la, pissed from the womb
Chorus
Disaster checked in with a scowl and a flask
Cheap motel room, Bible's still unread
Stomping in boots with a vendetta to finish
Last night's regrets echoing in his head
Post-Chorus
La la la, oh hell, whatever
La la la, bored forever
Verse 2
Door wasn't locked, just like my morals
Bastard with a badge eating dried-up donuts
He said, Kid you look dead, I said, no shit
This town's got a way of chewing up punks
Pre-Chorus
I'm not your hero and you're not my friend
Fuck these rules and start it again
Chorus
Disaster checked in with a scowl and a flask
Cheap motel room, Bible's still unread
Stomping in boots with a vendetta to finish
Last night's regrets echoing in his head
Post-Chorus
La la la, oh hell, whatever
La la la, bored forever
Bridge
Pissed off, half-drunk, scribbling threats on a napkin
Neighbors bang the wall—fuck off, you cowards
Ceiling's got stains that look just like Texas
Sweaty remote slips from my hand, breaking hours
Verse 3
I called the front desk and screamed for some coffee
Clerk just laughed, said buy your own damn cup
TV’s all static, the preacher’s all plastic
Hell, even the roaches have given up
Pre-Chorus
Life’s a sick joke with a punchline missing
If I’m the asshole, at least I’m consistent
Chorus
Disaster checked out still pissed and half broke
Bible’s collecting more dust than my hope
Slammed the damn door, left a note saying, "Screw it"
Not coming back, let this shithole choke
Post-Chorus
La la la, get bent, whatever
La la la, strange forever
Outro
Slamming the phone on another lost bastard
Motel's on fire, but nobody cares
Pouring cheap whiskey in stolen old coffee
Left my damn shoes and my dignity there
Cracked a tooth on the minibar nightmare
Ran out of swears and I'm still not done
Scribbled my last fuck in the guestbook margins
Fleeing the scene before morning sun
Post-Chorus
La la la, screw off, whatever
La la la, burned forever
Verse 4
Window’s wide open, some asshole’s still yelling
Stale cigarette haze, ancient carpet mold
Pockets are empty but my anger’s expensive
Found an old razor blade, cut my losses cold
Pre-Chorus
Glory days died in this fleabag motel
If karma exists, she can go fuck herself
Final Chorus
Disaster rolled out like a cranked busted tire
Left the key on the floor with a big fuck you
Turned every bad dream into tabloid headlines
Spray-painted warnings in the bathroom blue
Post-Chorus
La la la, not sorry, whatever
La la la, lost forever
Verse 5
Kicked in a lamp, sparks shot at the curtains
Neighbor called cops, but I gave ’em the slip
Laughed at the mess as the hallway collapsed
Carried my spite like it’s glued to my hip
Pre-Chorus
Yesterday’s hope got flushed in the piping
I flicked off the world and kept on driving
Chorus
Disaster still standing, balls-out, obscene
Checked out again, left a hell of a scene
Memory’s a stain that refuses to fade
Swearing at ghosts in the backseat parade
Post-Chorus
La la la, so fucked, whatever
La la la, done forever
Verse 6
Floorboards are creaking like someone’s confessing
Vacancy sign flickers, probably a wire short
Toothbrush in the sink stained with something unholy
I dare the next sucker to sleep in this fort
Pre-Chorus
Got a mouth full of rage and a wallet that’s empty
If life had returns, I’d be first to the counter
Outro 2
Shouted goodbye to a busted TV set
Shoved my regrets in a vending machine
Fuck this motel, fuck this fucking planet
Left my own legend stuck crazy obscene
Post-Chorus
La la la, pissed off, whatever
La la la, gone forever
Verse 7
Parking lot wars and a dent in my bumper
Soda can shrapnel and a busted headlight
Ate cold fries found stuck to my wallet
Counting my curses by flickering streetlight
Pre-Chorus
If karma’s a bitch, she’s stuck in the trunk
Laughing at roadside apologies drunk
Chorus
Disaster’s still running, one shoe and a grin
Middle finger waving in rearview disgrace
Smile like a threat, eyes full of fuck-it
Cartoon expletives scrawled on my face
Post-Chorus
La la la, bite me, whatever
La la la, punk forever
Outro
Engine’s still coughing, radio spitting static
Muttered my sins to the dented dashboard
Freedom’s a joke with a mean punchline
Rolled
