lyrics

I’m sick of making plans & never following through
Sick of sitting alone in my room, staring at shiny screens.
I’m sick of always putting myself down; sick of always putting my friends down.
I’m sick of hating the world because it doesn’t get me anywhere.

“But it’s not my fault” I’ll say. “It’s just the way that I was raised”.
I’ve been told my whole life that I was born to lose
But now I have friends who care and I don’t know what to do
I’ll shut out the world and give into my doubts
It’s been long enough and this bullshit has got to stop

I’ve got to stop smoking before I tear my voice to shreds
I’ve got to stop drinking alone like my Dad
I’ve got to stop getting numbed out so I can feel again.
I’ve got to keep in touch with friends from home
I’ve got to spend my free time on the road
I’ve got to keep these fingers moving until the veins explode.

“You can hope and you can pray but you know that nothing will change.”
I’ll make all sorts of promises that I know that I’ll break
It’s not because I want to it’s because I’m afraid.
I don’t want to be the man who can’t live up to his word
Not now, not today and not ever again.

I’ve come to the conclusion that I’m not all that bad
I’ve just grown too comfortable with being bored or sad
I’ve got to make a plan to get where I want to be
Because the truth I have a lot going for me

And by my own standards I will call myself a man
I’ll work hard everyday to be proud of who I am
I’ll give more, take less, lighten up and sing until I die
If I can do that much then I think that I’ll be fine.
