Wasted Energy

Am I asking too much
You give so little away
Feels like you're dead inside
OD on apathy
Can't see the white of your eyes
Or a suggestion of life
I used to care so much
But now I'm too damn tired

I haven't got the energy to deal with this
Right now I'm trying to get home
It's like crossing a minefield with your laces tied
And doing your best not to explode

I'm sick and tired of always wasting energy
Wasted on things I can't control
I get so bored of always being angry
I wish I could just let it go

The world is upside down
So you've fallen off the face of the Earth
Your eyes are open but you can't see your own worth
Punching the clock so you drag your feet through the day
You look so angry and jaded and faded away

I haven't got the energy to deal with this
Right now I'm trying to get home
It's like crossing a minefield with your laces tied
And doing your best not to explode

I'm sick and tired of always wasting energy
Wasted on things I can't control
I get so bored of always being angry
I wish I could just let it go
'Cos overthinking everything's exhausting
Replay it over and over again
It's never ending and it's self-defeating
Some days it's me against the world

The lights are off but there might be someone inside
Who can hit the switch again
The lights are off but there might be someone inside
Who can hit the switch again

I'm sick and tired of always wasting energy
Wasted on things I can't control
I get so bored of always being angry
I wish I could just let it go
'Cos overthinking everything's exhausting
Replay it over and over again
It's never ending and it's self-defeating
Some days it's me against the world

You say I do it to myself I draw it out
Law of attraction, I have my doubt
Still I bite my tongue and I bide my time
What good are tiptoes when you're standing on a mine?
