lyrics

Always biting my tongue.
Waiting for change.
Searing my lungs
another nicotine fix for that animal brain.

Chasing a dream
down a thousand yard stare.
Tapping my foot to the beat
I thought by now I’d be a millionaire,

but not every thought is well worth hearing.
Not every ache is a new f****** lyric.
Twenty something and overcast,
shouting at a flickering screen.

Thought there was a reason
thought I had a reason
shaking every hand that was reaching for me.

always late to the game.
The last one to leave.
Turning over a brand new page
when yesterday's I’d never dare to read.

Then racing off to the show.
Or Pacing the streets
glaring into a bottle
thinking I could see what no one else can see.

But not every vision is from on high.
Not every contradiction means I gotta' cross the line.
Twenty something and all used up.
Sober for the moment, at least.

I know every reason.
Never knew they were reasons.
Shrugged off every friend who was reaching for me.

Twisted minds can think alike sometimes,
but that don't mean that they mean well.
