Pool Boy

Can't talk now baby, I've gotta work
No words
Just an empty bank account, no worth
How the hell did I end up here
Used to live big dreams
And now I'm living a lie

I'm trying to wrestle with fact I used to be special
But now you don't mean shit kid
Better get used to it
Or the real worlds gonna eat you alive
Yeah

Wake up every morning, overthinking
It's getting old
Quit my old job, start a new thing
Cause I'm so sick of this nine to five
Live on someone else's time
Show up, shut up, do what your told
Yeah it's getting old
Yeah it's getting old

Hot sun
I sweat
But I still don't have my lyrics yet
And I swear someday I'll have something to sing to
But for now I'm stuck in something less interesting

Trying to wrestle with the fact I used to be special
But now you don't mean shit
Oh baby I'm used to that by now
It's like you haven't been listening

Wake up every morning, overthinking
It's getting old
Quit my old job, start a new thing
Cause I'm so sick of this nine to five
Live on someone else's time
Show up, shut up, do what your told
Yeah it's getting old
Yeah it's getting old

Am I meant for this punching a clock
Morning commutes and daydreams that won't stop
Of how I'd sell my soul
Just to get the hell out this place
And make big moves that I've been subtly hinting
Now a days I do more convincing of the fact that
I'm an artist not your fucking pool boy

Wake up every morning, overthinking
It's getting old
Quit my old job, start a new thing
Cause I'm so sick of this nine to five
Live on someone else's time
Show up, shut up, do what your told
