lyrics

This town is older now
The years wrinkle beneath it
The city lights have all burned out
This home is turning cold
I took the scenic route to end up where I started
Don’t wanna try to work this out
Don’t wanna try to speak

I lock myself in on the weekends
Can’t seem to shake these inner demons
Neck deep in all my inhibitions
Cuz everything’s the same, nothing ever changes

You self-prescribe the pain
I’ve seen you play the victim
So far from who you want to be
Still waiting for relief
I believe growing up is hardest when you don’t know just where to start
It’s easier to stay in park

Do you lose hope when you are dreaming?
And keep tabs on your dirty secrets?
Collapse your lungs ‘til you’re not breathing
Cuz everything’s the same, nothing ever changes

And these days feel hollowed out
When there’s no one left beside you holding your hand now
Time runs out

All alone, you’re an apathetic shell
No one knows cuz you hide beneath yourself
Does it hurt when you move but gain no ground?
And see the colors fading out?

Do you want to hold that weight?
Do you want to be afraid?
