I'm surrounded by the people that I didn't wanna be But I'm too fucked up to care this bottle's burning inside of me I've got a broken heart and veins of lead from all you did Ten thousand broken promises from when we were just kids Whoa-oh-oh, etc. I'm so sick and tired of being tired I don't sleep much anymore Just toss and turn oblivion with thoughts I can't ignore Personal anxieties the fear of being wrong Nothing to be done so I wrote this fucking song Whoa-oh-oh, etc I hate to admit it, but every word I write Comes to me with you in mind A truth I can't deny Words come out without me knowing how they got to this page It's the same shitty poetry for forever and a day Whoa-oh-oh, etc Now I've got a killer headache It's the kind that really kills

I'm so scared of getting older that I can't even live right now The fear's taking over me, I can't force it out Like waves crashing on sleepless nights Like a movie that doesn't end Time's ticking and bombs exploding I try to pretend That I'm alright Am I alright? My whole life I kinda figured I'd be somewhere else by now But no collar and an empty wallet have somehow sought me out So I'm clinging to the endless memories that keep my breath alive I write songs, screaming words cause I don't wanna die Am I alright? I guess I'm doing fine Are you alright? You're doing fine I'm so scared of getting older that I can't even live right now

You slit your wrist just to feel that you'll never be alone You take a pill to forget this place you once called home Take a dive in a lake, hold your breath till you can't take it anymore Your body swells, you're kissing hell But it's all you can do to try to get a grip You've seen shrinks and ministers But none of them gives a shit Cause they don't know where you've been They don't know who you are So you struggle on, you struggle strong You've given up on your friends, you don't need 'em anyway Don't pick up their phones, who gives a shit? You're better off anyway Sworn off god, where's he been Hasn't come knocking down your door Dead's dead, there's no turning back There's no turning back And it's all you can do to try to get a grip You've seen shrinks and ministers But none of them gives a shit Cause they don't know where you've been They don't know who you are So you struggle on, you struggle strong I try to tell you'll be fine Just doing time You'll be fine

Take it as it comes Is what I keep telling myself But for how long will this reassure my ever growing doubts? Is this what I've earned? I've got a degree and everything Is this all I'm worth? These bills don't pay themselves This is frustration, this is apathy It's plain to me that I'll never escape my constant anxiety This is not who I am sitting alone and watching TV for hours on end I don't even call my friends anymore So lets pretend that we're all somewhere else and we're all still friends Just like when we were kids This is frustration, this is apathy It's plain to me that we'll never escape our constant anxiety This is frustration, this is misery (Missouri) We're getting older and we rot in our defeat

Staring at the ocean in my dreams Taste the salt, feel the breeze, remind me of a better time, an easier time no responsibility Just childhood dreams about being older about being bolder about falling in love and giving it up Things come and gone, romances made up So just being a kid, I wanna go there again Sandcastles and sunburns I wanna be there again It was prank phone calls and hanging out at the mall We were all best friends without a care in the world It was believing in God, believing in something we were all so sure we all had a purpose Now where's our purpose? Now it's dead end jobs and crappy apartments Hanging out in bars wondering where our lives went Now friendships are fading we don't see each other Scattered around, how could we see each other? No one knows each other anymore Oh oh, etc
