Nights like these
Are so familiar to me
Where all I can see
Is a flat, white, expressionless, generic looking ceiling
And it's judging me
It wants to punish me
And if I see a gleam
It'll summon me back underneath it so begrudgingly
This is every night
It just doesn't seem right
I should put up a fight
It's become a pretty hazardous way to live my life
And I say I'll change
But I stay the same
It's all a game
I'm the winner and the loser; does it matter if I play?
If it doesn't and you promise me, I'll throw in the towel
No remorse, no regret, I won't hesitate or doubt you
Been wasting away days, prematurely in a grave
World's in a spiral, act like I'm not phased
On top of two pillows and forget eight hours
I'm not trying to feel the sun today, my skin is pale and now I
Want to stop acting like it's all okay
But I never grew up, how do I act my age?
At 18 I wanted to follow my dreams
At 19 I thought the world needed to be seen
At 20 I thought I had it all figured out
But at 21 I couldn't pull myself up off the couch
You tell me that I'm lazy
Yeah, you tell me that I'm crazy
I say it's just one of those days
That's going on for days
I have a fear of who I'll become this year
Cause at 22 things are just as clear
I'm starting to get all those familiar feelings
Afraid I'll always be staring at my ceiling
Looking for my future
It appears I'll be a loser
I've been living in small spaces, I've been sleeping on the couch
and I just, I just, I just got to get out
It's looking back at
And it's mocking me
It does it silently
And I ask "Why me?"
Why am I the one?
I don't find this fun
And I don't see the pun
This is my life and I feel like I'm being shunned
Like I did everyone else, I kept to myself
Said I hate them but being alone is hell
Misery loves company so come and party with me
The gangs all here and the drinks are on me
But this isn't what it seems, thought this is what I need
But it's not so I'll drive until the needle breaks E
If I'm one fourth of the soul of wit
Then why the fuck am I not clever enough to figure out this?
At 18 I wanted to follow my dreams
At 19 I thought the world needed to be seen
At 20 I thought I had it all figured out
But at 21 I couldn't pull myself up off the couch
You tell me that I'm lazy
Yeah, you tell me that I'm crazy
I say it's just one of those days
That's going on for days
I have a fear of who I'll become this year
Cause at 22 things are just as clear
I'm starting to get all those familiar feelings
Afraid I'll always be staring at my ceiling
Looking for my future
It appears I'll be a loser
I've been living in small spaces, I've been sleeping on the couch
and I just, I just, I just got to get out
