Ocean Size

I'm proud to say that things aren't great, but could be worse from where i'm standing.
A loving home, some loyal friends, but still sometimes my brain pretends.
These regrets can pile high, sometimes i feel they're ocean size, as wide as the sad look in your eyes.
All alone on the interstate, the mile markers mark my fate. will i make it out or be stuck for days?
With tired eyes and bleeding throats we chase the things we love the most, so does it even matter if it shows?
I don't want to be the first to say that nothing's lost if nothing's great, and i don't think it's ever gonna change.
so when does the shade go away?

By the time my light clicks on, I will be long gone, headed out.
Is this everything that you expected?
Late at night when I get tired of the action, feeling wound up looking for a distraction now.
Tell me can you feel the tension? Tell me, do i have your attention?
One more night that takes it's toll, one last time till i explode.
I feel like I can't compete with the phones and tv screens.
Doomsday moments, constant scrolling, moving right past me.
Do you ever feel like you're the exception? Like the whole world's waiting just to teach you a lesson now. I bet they like it now.
Do a whole lot of talking just to hear how it sounds, try to get lost just so you can be found right out, and they all love it now.
Do you feel like you might break? Is this more than you can take? Hold your head up high for goodness sake.

Wrong Way

I woke uo with a new bruise.
Rose colored, turning black and blue.
I don't know what else to tell you, things like this can't last forever.
Then I wake up so confused.
Call it off.
Call the cops.
Anything to make it stop.
I've grown tired of the games that we play, we keep moving but i think it's the wrong way.
Do you know what you would do if you ever were this lonely too?
I don't know how to explain it, everything just felt so painless.
Now I don't know what to do.
The engine stalls, make the call, whats the difference after all?
They're out to get us now.
We'll never live this down.
They're out to get us, now or never.

Can't get the tase of blood out of my mouth.
I'm ready to open up and let it all come pouring out.
Never gave a shit about where you'd been, when i was face down you were busy playing the victim.
What's there left to say? Another lie, another fool to take my place.
You're so fairweather.
I've had better.
Give me the courtesy of forgetting my name, things were better when you were away.
Go on and drag me along, Keep singing that same sad song.
Pull yourself together now.
Can't help the way you feel when you find out.
Pray for self control while your chest is ripping out.
Do you regret those things you said?
When you're waking up in strangers beds what kind of bullshit do you tell yourself?
You're so fairweather.
It only just occurred to me that everything you said to me was wrong. You took it all for granted, it was all for nothing.
It was just a courtesy that everything you said to me was wrong, you took it all for granted and it's all for nothing.

I Want To Run

I want to run.
I want to find a purpose.
Cash in my retirement, see how far that we can get.
I've been running on empty, cruising on adrenaline.
Wasting my time trying to fall back in line when the real world isn't having it.
When it feels like you're losing, I'm calling out
Another cautionary tale that goes to show
when all the stakes are far away, race for what you know and don't let go.
Life is short and times are scary, you never really know when you might be next in line to go.
I've been exhausted, won and lost it.
The chaos that comes from the life and times had nothing to do with the pain he hides.
Won't stop running my mouth till i'm in the ground.
Keep doing my best to make it count.
Been trying to lose myself in a long drive for a long time.
Been trying anything at all.
We're not getting any younger, glutens for punishment.
This routine is killing me, i'm everything i never wanted to be.

Defeated

I'm so defeated, can't get out of bed.
Take me or leave me, try and understand.
This isn't where i want to be, so hold on to me.
Tell me everything will be all right this time.
Just give me a reason, I won't cut you off.
Shoot it straight into my veins, try walking off the pain.
There's gotta be a better way, your cure is my disease.
Same old story we've all heard a thousand times.
We've come so far from our innocence
Wanting answers from strangers before the questions even leave their lips.
Lost all direction and all our common sense
We are running in circles, making the same mistakes again and again.
Let the walls fall, we could have it all
Its brother vs brother and it's been this way a thousand times.
Listen before you think, they won't know what to think.
Go crying to your mother, we've been waiting for this moment too long.
