Well here I go again
Stuck in this basement
Paper and pen in hand and lack of motivation
'cause I've grown tired
So uninspired
Can't seem to write the words I want to say on paper
Well here I go again
Stuck in this routine
Working a dead end job
Not even making ends meet
So I'll dig my grave
Work my life away
Grow old and spend my final days just feeling empty
I'm never gonna be the one to say
I'm giving up what means the most to me
'cause every day is
mine for the taking
I'm making my own opportunities
I sit back and ponder
on the way things used to be
When I was younger
So careless and naive
I'm giving everything I've got
but what I get is never quite enough
It's getting harder to keep up
Concerned with everything I'm not

Back of My Mind

There's got to be something more to this
There's got to be something that I missed
I'm stuck in this parking lot thinking
What could I have done?
It eats me alive
I don't know why
Locked from the inside
It's always on the back of my mind
Can't help but feel I've fallen behind
Take your time
You're not the only one that wonders why
Take your time
It won't be long until they pass you by
Is it worth the effort?
'Cause I'll wait forever
Days go by, it's so frustrating
Thinking back on where I could be
Missed opportunities and sleepless nights
Tell me why I even try
Tell me why I fucking try

Life in Retrograde
03:17

These days I tend to be alone
On the wrong side of the bed is where I've always been at home
Things change, but one thing still remains
The constant search for something more while stuck in my old ways
Things don't have to be this way
My life in retrograde
Just know we did this all on our own
Forget the negativity
The doubt and disbelief
Just know we did this all on our own
Your selfish motives will catch up to you one day
Please understand that things don't have to be this way
The dreams that come to mind but never come to life
are holding me captive
The songs inside my head
The words I left unsaid
The days inside my bed are adding up

The One You Need

I took my time just to write these lines
but I never get the words right
Maybe someday I will find my way
For now I'm gone
I'm never gonna be the one you need
Why can't you see?
I'm never gonna be the one you need
Just let me be
Why can't you see what's left of me?
I'm never gonna be the one you need
Why can't you see?
I'm never gonna be the one you need
Just get some sleep

Chaser

I keep searching for the answers to questions
but all I'm left with is another life lesson
Can't stand this spot, I'm feeling so damn impatient
Can't stand the thoughts in my head each time this happens
'Cause some things are better left as mysteries
and some times are better left in history
'cause one thing I've learned in this reality
Most things are never quite as good as they seem
but I'll keep chasing my dreams
We're all just searching for our purpose
though what we find in the end may hurt us
Is it better to have tried and failed
or to ask, "What if I hadn't bailed?"
