24-7 onslaught, who’s right, who’s caught
Can’t ageee on even common sense
Betting our future on the fence
Show us light and another day
Long nights, sideways
News sells, hate plays
What’s good? Who pays?
I don’t know-it’s getting darker every day
Alternate facts and news fakes, shit shows, out takes
Couldn’t care enough to spit on you
My most sincere fuck you
There has to be a better way
Ooh ah, no way
Search for light in these darkest days
No more, no way
Push for love in hear of the darkest days
Where did you go?
did you already know
that you’d one day be leaving me?
was there a sting?
did you feel anything
when you called out the cavalry?
Was there a doubt?
did I give you an out?
Some part of you must believe
Used to be someone I could count on
used to be someone who cared
used to be the peak of the mountain
now you’re breathing thinner air
where’d you go?
The depths of my lungs
the song that I’ve sung
nothing but dust to you
the volume of words
the violence unheard
all still in your field of view
You stare at your feet
so dim and discreet
You're not who I thought I knew
Used to be someone I could count on
used to be someone who cared
used to be the peak of the mountain
now you’re breathing thinner air
where’d you go?
Every day is another mystery
And while I love the chaos, sometimes it’s hard to see
If I’ll ever keep my head up over the waves that I call in
Will I sink down to the bottom, forgetting how to swim
All these years seem to disappear
With a stack of bills and constant fear
That I could’ve done more before the end
So I run the race with a smile on my face
And hope that I can keep my place
I just want something that I can come back to
If I ever find the time
Every road holds certain uncertainties
The ones less traveled often make me want to peek
Even when I know that some lead to aches
Keep pushing forward and learn from mistakes
All these years seem to disappear
With a stack of bills and constant fear
That I could’ve done more before the end
So I run the race with a smile on my face
And hope that I can keep my place
I just want something that I can come back to
If I ever find the time
If I can’t think of anything else to say Maybe it’s better that way
