Lyrics

Well I’m a little bit older than I used to be 
I’ve just about had it with their thoughts of me 
I won’t wait for them when I’m around the bend 
I’m stuck at the end I don’t try to pretend 
That I’m someone I’m not I don’t take that back 
I’d give it all gladly if I ever did that 
& I saw them all fall like they all been cursed 
When things go bad they can always get worse

Well I’m coming back down from my time away 
There’s no one to talk to here & nowhere to stay 
I won’t lie to your face it’s an endless chase 
I’m stuck in this place I can’t win this race 
Well there’s a story I heard by the heat of the fire 
The more they tell me the truth the more it seems like a lie
& I thought I’d be fine by the end of tonight 
But it’s all played backwards & there’s no rewind

& I guarantee that in the end you’ll see 
What it’s like to lead a life full of greed 
But that’s not for me it’s not what I want to be
There’s something you should heed 
There’s nothing more I need 
There’s nothing more I need 

Well it all begins it never stops or ends 
The moment you had was neither now or then 
& those lines you speak like bullets from a gun 
I don’t write my songs for the radio son 
I’ll be on my way I’m leaving today 
I got my feet on the ground & you’ll be stuck in the clay
I got places to go I got things to say 
I’m gunna have to come back to this another day 

Well I’ve been there before I’ve knocked on that door 
I broke free from being bound by the Devil's claw
Well he returned for more I fought back with love
Sometimes you have to face a fear to rise above 
It’s a crystal sight I got a reason to fight 
One day at a time there’s only so much light 
& that perfect disguise it can’t always be nice 
To never make a mistake you’d have to be born twice 

Well I’ve fallen to my knees
So many lost but I can see 
Lock up my mind & melt the key
Too many lies I can’t agree 

Well I wait in line I know It’s not my time 
I've never been one to sign on the dotted line 
I sit alone & think while I start to sink 
They say to look at the sun & try not to blink
We’re better than that we’re the moon & the stars
But they want the stars to rip all the moons apart 
I need some time to bide I need a place to hide
Somewhere to bottle it up & take it in my stride 

I try to understand what’s the god damn plan 
They take all your money & never shake your hand 
I’m getting tired of this when they clench their fists
Punch you straight in the mouth & say they can’t resist
I’m I a crazy town sometimes it’s hard to be 
There’s people thinkin' that they’re gunna be here permanently
I watch it from the side I watch 'em wave goodbye 
To everything they ever loved & then they wonder why
