Every time I try to find another way Another drunken line Another fucking thing I can't fix everything Swallow back another broken try Cover for another fucking lie It's hard to be honest From one broken promise To the next, I'm coming back again And we know that luck is not your friend Holding me back won't get you any closer to where you want to be You're just wasting time that I won't get back Every time I try to find another way Another drunken line Another fucking thing I can't fix everything

Slacker 03:42
Let me tell you a story; when this shit began I've got a list of all the reasons And you know just where to begin But you know i hate this feeling And I’m trying not to feel this But I just can’t take it All my time is wasted on things that don’t think of me When you were busy growing up did I just stay the same? I'll be lifting myself up until I break my back, you’ll never find your way out I know you’ve never had to work a day in your life To get anywhere you wanna be I know you’re not there and you haven’t tried yet So why the hell would you complain to me Don’t look now you’re drowning in your sorrow Try again tomorrow, trying not to follow Nahh nah nah nah Live it up because the past comes back You’ll never get anywhere when you ride the fast track to failure You’ll get whats coming How can you tell me how to live my life when yours is going to hell? Excuses are always just the same Still telling myself that this is worth it That all my days mean something to someone Keep telling myself to do better But I know you won’t I know you’ve never had to work a day in your life To get anywhere you wanna be I know you’re not there and you haven’t tried yet So why the hell would you complain to me Don’t look now you’re drowning in your sorrow Try again tomorrow trying not to follow Nahh nah nah nah I can’t help you Can't help you if you won’t help yourself Keep taking your time trying to sort it out Everything you’ve said has me filled with doubt Say you’re trying but I know you’re not Stop stalling look up let it out

Where Am I? 02:12
Waking up on the couch in a cold sweat The TV is on because you can’t sleep without it Look at me, I’m blacking out again Can never make sense of what I’m doing here My days are short and my nights seem long The clocks still ticking i know whats missing Guess I'll just go and write another song Can't come back, you won’t come back to me Looking back and I can't move forward Looking back, I just need to rest my eyes I can never catch a break, I’m falling I won’t go to sleep till four AM Woke up late and now I’m crawling All I need is an excuse to sleep in Alright, I'm feeling nothing so I have to numb the pain again Can't seem to think straight so I’m shutting down my brain stem How does it feel to know that you’re the one who ruined us How does it make you feel that I can’t sleep I’m fucked up I can never catch a break, I’m falling I won’t go to sleep till four AM Woke up late and now I’m crawling All I need is an excuse to sleep in Still can never catch a break I’m falling Still won’t go to sleep till four AM Woke up late and now I’m crawling Now you know why I’m sleeping in Guess we finally caught a break you left me Guess I’m fucked enough to sleep so I'll lay down Woke up late, you’re not with me Guess I'll fall asleep standing up I don’t live my life by my glass being half empty or half full Cause I make sure my glass is empty to drowned out That I have to do this on my own

Go Set me free and watch me go Now I’m alone Over it I’m out the door Out on my own They say one can be lonely I know two can be lonely still For the first time I’m being honest I've got no one to prove it to I've got a real bad habit of trying to fix everything But I won’t fix anything Don’t say it, Don’t say it I've got a head full of doubt I can’t take this Let me down easy I’m trying But I can’t help your disappointment This is who I am and I won’t replace it For any mold that you can try to fit my bones in Another day, I know I’m wasting my time here Prove to you that you’ll never get your way again I'll pack my things YEAH I’m fucking leaving town Never look back on what we didn’t have Here's to giving up I'll never get out Cut me down and I'll cut you right back Let me down I’m over it Let me down easy I’m trying But I can’t help your disappointment This is who I am and I won’t replace it For any mold that you can try to fit my bones in This is it I'll try to come to terms with All the truth that has me disappointed This isn't real just an idea of who you really wanted me to be Let's take it back to all the days when We lived it out through the cities and years Can't hold it back again now I’m face to face with All your struggles and your fears I know I said I’m done but this time I mean it I'm never coming back And now I’m over it One way ticket to hell, I’m never coming back Let me down easy I’m trying But I can’t help your disappointment This is who I am and I won’t replace it For any mold that you can try to fit my bones in This is it I'll try to come to terms with All the truth that has me disappointed This isn't real just an idea of who you really wanted me to be Let me down easy I’m trying But I can’t help your disappointment I'll let you down easy cause I won’t Let you mold me

Looking back this all got the best of me We got carried away We got carried away Never thought that it could get this bad again We’re losing ground and I can’t help it Take a step back and look at the mess that you’ve made I’m wearing all black it's matching the mood that I’m in Who would have thought we’d get so far Who would have thought you’d get so far from me You’ve got a way of taking things too far but you’ve never had a grip and now we’re falling apart So go on and tell yourself that you’re still moving along but we know You’ve got me rolling with the renegades again i can tell when you’re in my head You’ve got me rolling with the renegades again This is no longer in my hands We’re all living in black We’re being force-fed this white noise of nothingness That causes us to believe that everything is okay Look around and see it; you’re not blind Ive had enough its time to free your mind We’ve had enough Theres nothing left to say They’ve fed enough for us to eat You’ve got me rolling with the renegades again This is no longer in my hands You’ve got me rolling with the renegades again This is no longer in my hands How can you compensate for all the things you take And all the shit that you constantly give Where has your conscience gone? How can you face this all? Bending and breaking what you don’t deserve You’ve left me no choice I’m leaving you here Things I won’t get back I won’t live in fear again

Walk me down to the wake you’ll never watch me fall Take whatever you need I live my life to the break and I can say theres no room for you left in me Foundations broken and bitter Forcing caution to shiver Leaving emptiness, regretful bliss without me so far You know well be here forever Stuck in this place forever, Never letting go, of what we know and how we’ve grown apart Giving up and I’m never gonna get back Get you back If I could break your fall Then I would If I could fix my flaws Then I would More shots are fired No stepping stones Lift me up to fill my bones Because I give in and you take hold of all my fears when I’m exposed Wake me up just to watch me fall and say woah Give it up just to fix it all sing woah I'm giving up I’m giving up I’m giving it’s over I'm messing up the good things in my life I fucked up i’m fucked but I’m alright If I could break your fall Then I would If I could fix your flaws Then I would Help me forgive Bring me back to all The times that counted and made us what we are More shots are fired No stepping stones Lifting up to fill my bones Because I give in and you take hold of all my fears when I’m exposed Wake me up just to watch me fall and say woah
