I wanted to make a song that expresses exactly where I am now in life, as of October 2015. I think I succeeded.
lyrics
Here comes another day
You know you have to change when everyday seems like another drop in the bucket
I've been deathly bored since god knows when
But who do I have to blame?
Every time I point a finger it always seems to land on the asshole I see in the mirror
Pour another drink and wait for the end
And we try so hard to convince ourselves
There's a point of no return
So build your Idols in the sand
Let's sit and watch them burn
I'm trying to find my way
With nothing to lose and nothing to prove
I choose another way
I can tell it's mine for the taking
Get up here we go
No time to be afraid
The outside world can kill you]
Their eyes can cut right through you, and at their worst it seems their words can bleed you
But all I seem to hear is
Cuz I will find me
It may take hours
But I know what I'm looking for
It's somewhere out there
Take my hand, let's both go look for the door.
And somehow though your deep blue eyes, I haven't aged past seventeen
But observant as you are, you don't seem to notice there's a difference between you and me
I'm trying to find my way
With nothing to lose and nothing to prove
I choose another way
I can tell it's mine for the taking
Get up here we go
No need to be afraid
And I see it
I feel it
And who are you to say I'm wrong, who are you to tell me why?
No priestess
Can heal this
My only problem is in my own thick skull, and you can't tell me why.
Yeah,
I'm trying to find my way
With nothing to lose and nothing to prove
I choose another way
I can tell it's mine for the taking
Get up here we go
No need to be afraid, but still,
I'm trying to find my way
I'm trying to find my way
With nothing to lose and nothing to prove,
I choose another way
