lyrics

Oh wake up
Fix a cup
The next eight hours you’re a slave

Content to be
At The Normandy
You find yourself there every week

Hearing sounds where there’s nothing left to echo off of
You tried so hard not to cry

Cigarettes,
become your best
Chance to be at peace

You look back,
At how fate stacks,
And ask yourself “Where’s my dream?”

Hearing sounds where there’s nothing left to echo off of
Oh I tried, so hard not to cry

So you struggle and search for a purpose
But none arrive
Cause you spent all your youth in the dives
You’re spineless, and broken, and closed off
You’re 25
Oh you tried so hard not to cry

We were the boldest youth whom none could overcome.
Now you’re low, so low
Oh, the party starts, you’re bouncing off the rails
You’re so low

So you sit, and you wait, and you’re lonely
All day long
And you ask yourself what went wrong.
So you smoke, and you drink, like it helps you.
You’re so unwrapped,
To the point, you can’t see, when you’ve snapped.
