lyrics

I'd give up my voice for something to say

I'd leave everyone I know to keep from getting thrown away

I've been talking about leaving for at least 600 days

At this point I might as well just stay

Remember when we were fourteen

singing “fuck authority!”?

Now I'm nineteen going on fourty-five

And I'm writing sappy songs about times long gone by

The kind that fourteen year old me would have despised

So if you're anything like me

crushed by confusion and apathy

well please let me know that I'm not alone

As life get's closer day by day

I get scared of fading away

Seems like a good excuse to stay at home

So I dress up in my combat boots

Sure, leather jackets beat three-piece suits

But is this a lifestyle? Or a disguise?

And I can feel the walls keep closing in

It's a strange new kind of pain I'm in

Well shit, I guess that means I'm still alive

When you can't find any comfort in the things you used to love

When reality is nothing like the life you had dreamed up

When it turns out good intentions just aren't quite good enough

And you'd rather eat a bullet than live to see the sun come up

Well

Don't give in!

Don't give in!

Just breathe while you can 'cause that's all you can do

And know that you're not alone 'cause I'm right there with you

And it might not be ideal, but I think I'll make it through

And I'll pray to god that you all make it to

And I'd give up my voice for something to say

I'd leave everyone I know to keep from getting thrown away

I've been talking about leaving for at least 600 days

At this point I might as well just stay
