Please tell me why we couldn't stay



Don't let this feeling ever go away



Let this memory forever be inside of me



Through every hour of every day



It's with the company of these friends



That we drove on through the night



We were carried by the wheels of armageddon

We're gonna force ourselves to live



Thankful it's hurt more than we've ever felt



It's just our means to an end

Please tell me why we couldn't stay



Don't let this feeling ever go away



Let this memory forever be inside of me



Through every hour of every day



It's with the company of these friends



That we drove on through the night



We were carried by the wheels of armageddon

And honestly we were armed with our best intentions



Maybe those intentions alone



are just enough to get us anywhere but here



In the middle of America



Six cylinders will take us further than any president



The same promises that we forgot the last time



There's no difference between staying and a bullet in the head

So fucking tell me why we couldn't stay



Don't let this feeling ever go away



Let this memory forever be inside of me



Through every hour of every day



It's with the company of these friends



That we drove on through the night



We were carried by the wheels of armageddon

Maybe it's gonna come from the radio



Or the next 8 hour day



Driving to the next town



A collect call home to your best friend



We are the company we keep



We could live off of dumpsters if we have to



Sell our blood by the pint to make rent



This kind of dignity doesn't come easy



But you'll never find it for sale

And that's why we couldn't stay



But never let that feeling ever go away



Kept to memory, inside of us



Through every hour, through every day



Until we die



It's with the company of those friends



We drove on through the night



Behind the wheels of armageddon
