lyrics

Losing sleep at night, these thoughts I wish I could tame.
I tend to wonder how all these demons know me by name.
haunting me everyday, I am my worst enemy driving myself insane.
thoughts of suicide left right after they came.

Everyone tells me my shit is so abstract,
how else can I explain where the fuck my head is at.
A product of my enviroment where I ignore everything Im told,
and blind to everything I see, my shoulders cold.

And people making music with hooks so they can make it centerfold
and here I am just trying to laydown my soul.

progression is lessons lived and lessons learned,
wondering when the world is going to let me have my turn.
you see Time is an impatient sinning plan, it waits for no one,
waits for no man. Time and tides work you can see casted in my eyes.
I dont regret living, I just regret living a lie.

My life is measured in lies, and "good trys"
I'm sick of fucking maybe "next times."
so I stick it to these rhymes while the world tightens my noose.
Thinking music is all I have left to spill my soul into.
and fuck the world if they're not feelin the truth, I made this for me not you.


Thoughts of living prosperous,
but my sanity seems to be what the cost is.
no motivation to walk the path thats narrow and straight
trying to make my own path fuck destiny I'll decide my own fate.
