This morning drive grinds to a halt Car crash emotions overflow Take me to a place I don’t wanna go How do you make sense of all of this Time, money, life and self purpose Is it all really worth it? Are we selling ourselves to live? It makes no difference who you are vs. who you were When no one gives a shit about the scars you wear (Or how they’re earned!) Or how they’re earned, sell your seconds nine to five You’re on the clock ‘till you fucking die Or are we all just wasting our time? Each day is a turning page in a book you fucking hate Scan it all over again, let it all just dissipate Each day is a turning page in a book you fucking hate Scan it all over again, let it all just dissipate

I’m driving on broken lines Swerving side to side The check engine light’s been burning my eyes for days Destination is unknown I just know that I can’t go home Not in this state of mind, not in this fucked up haze And life crashes by Like headlights in the rearview Gaining faster Gaining faster Gaining faster On you! I’m running from the flashing lights With no escape in my sight They tell me if I pull over now they can make this go away It’s easier said than done I really can’t be the only one Who doesn’t know the rules in this game And life crashes by Like headlights in the rearview Gaining faster Gaining faster Gaining faster On you! Runaway from everything You, swore you’d never be Run, away from everything You, swore you’d never be Run, away from everything You, swore you’d never be

It’s New Years Eve and I’m feeling older than ever I think I’ll blame it on the weather and how it refuses to change Let’s raise a glass to another year gone down the gutter Raise another and another until we’re blacked out on the floor I feel like I’ve been here before (Another night another floor!) A past life, a faded memory I can’t restore It’s nights like these when I can barely keep it together My bones are breaking beneath the pressure of carrying social norms Let’s raise a glass to another year gone down the gutter Raise another and another until we’re blacked out on the floor I feel like I’ve been here before (Another night another floor!) A past life, a faded memory I can’t ignore One! Two! One two three four!

Don’t wanna close my eyes I’m not going to sleep tonight Cause dreams bring me anxiety and more reasons to get high I don’t wanna speak tonight I just wanna sit in silence Cause silence brings tranquility and you know better than I Let’s not sleep tonight she said We’ll just hold our eyes open Until the morning sun comes up and turns our demons into dust I’m not sleeping And I’m not leaving! Don’t wanna close my eyes I’m not going to sleep tonight Cause nightmares look a lot like dreams when you can’t open up your eyes I don’t wanna speak tonight I just wanna sit in silence Cause silence brings tranquility and you know better than I That your brain can move too fast sometimes! Let’s not sleep tonight she said We’ll just hold our eyes open Until the morning sun comes up and turns our demons into dust I’m not sleeping And I’m not leaving! Yeah I’m not leaving!

There’s a bird outside on the power lines Across the street from where my head lies Summer’s gone but still he sings his songs His flight due south feels too long So I grab my smokes, I put on my coat I’ve got to try and be less jaded I’ll stand outside with a will to fly But clipped wings keep me from escape- I’d trade my soul and all I own If it meant that I could escape this Town I’m in, long forgotten friends This house, this fucken basement So I grab my smokes, I put on my coat I’ve got to try and be less jaded I’ll stand outside with a will to fly But clipped wings keep me from escape- Birds of prey, fly away I’m just a swallow singin’ in a winter rain Birds of prey, fly away I’m frozen in this idle state, frozen in this idle state I don’t feel myself these days Everyone else flew south But here I stay singing without meaning Sleeping but not dreaming Flying but not leaving Flying but not leaving! Birds of prey, fly away I’m just a swallow singin’ in a winter rain Birds of prey, fly away I’m frozen in this idle state, frozen in this idle state I’m frozen in this idle state
