8:Am
I had to wait
Until I felt my bones breaking
This messy pitch black hole in the chest
I filled it up with a strangers lips, packs of cigarettes
And now I got to bleed out everything in me
All I ever wanted but never got to see
Too old to change but too young for giving up
How old where you when you where taught you weren't enough?
No, I don't think so
I may never get this right
But I'll be damned if it ain't mine
No. I don't think so
I'll be damned if I just die
Never lived just stayed alive
I know the pain
You're giving your days but you never make a dent
So hard to live to your potential and extent
On minimum wage and this loveless rent
And every single night
Your spending your time drinking for the noise
And years behind your eyes
When we where young the future was a gift
When did this promise start to feel more like a threat?
No, I don't think so
I may never get this right but I'll be damned if it ain't mine
No. I don't think so
I'll be damned if I just die, never lived just stayed alive
8 am: off to the same damn shit again
I got my name tag, shoes and wallet but I forgot bring my apron out
By the car, I kind of stopped and stood real still
Realize the kind of life where all my pay goes to my bills
No, I don't think so
I may never get this right but I'll be damned if it ain't mine
No, I don't think so
I'll be damned if I just die, never lived just stayed alive
Until I felt my bones breaking
This messy pitch black hole in the chest
I filled it up with a strangers lips, packs of cigarettes
And now I got to bleed out everything in me
All I ever wanted but never got to see
Too old to change but too young for giving up
How old where you when you where taught you weren't enough?
No, I don't think so
I may never get this right
But I'll be damned if it ain't mine
No. I don't think so
I'll be damned if I just die
Never lived just stayed alive
I know the pain
You're giving your days but you never make a dent
So hard to live to your potential and extent
On minimum wage and this loveless rent
And every single night
Your spending your time drinking for the noise
And years behind your eyes
When we where young the future was a gift
When did this promise start to feel more like a threat?
No, I don't think so
I may never get this right but I'll be damned if it ain't mine
No. I don't think so
I'll be damned if I just die, never lived just stayed alive
8 am: off to the same damn shit again
I got my name tag, shoes and wallet but I forgot bring my apron out
By the car, I kind of stopped and stood real still
Realize the kind of life where all my pay goes to my bills
No, I don't think so
I may never get this right but I'll be damned if it ain't mine
No, I don't think so
I'll be damned if I just die, never lived just stayed alive
