Time Goes On

We had high hopes in the lowest places
Dead broke and our youth was wasted
Big dreams in the smallest places
Now we're too far gone
We all found love in familiar faces
Bore kids that will soon replace us
Swore nothing would separate us
But we're too far gone

Another night looking' back on my life
Another fork-in-the-road, I've chosen more wrong than right
I'm ending that shit tonight, yeah right that's just a lie
Ain't nothing gonna ever change, so why should I even try
I quit pills, I quit coke, I'm still drinking
I keep smoking, but that's straight, it's in prescription
All my demons and issues I never kept them hidden
But I'm still gonna piss away this life given
Like I never knew what I should really do with it
And given the chance right now, I'd say I'm through with it
All the goodwill I've earned has just been diluted with
All the evil I've done, it returns as putrid shit
I just wish that I could be a better man
On my knees every night, pray I understand
And if I do, will I finally feel settled then
So, I just put my faith in God, hope for a bigger plan

We had high hopes in the lowest places
Dead broke and our youth was wasted
Big dreams in the smallest places
Now we're too far gone
We all found love in familiar faces
Bore kids that will soon replace us
Swore nothing would separate us
But we're too far gone

Dear Papa I'm sorry I always disappoint you
Dear Mama I'm sorry for what these damn words do
Little bro, I know I'm not one that you look up to
Well, I'm just trying' to find me and maybe it's true
That Sin gonna never be a winner in this life we live
I'm just trying' to stay strong, give it all I can give
Sometimes I feel so counterfeit, a hypocrite
That I swear my back's breaking from carrying this shit
I'm so sick of it, I need to make a change
Rearrange it all, come to grips with James
Truth is I can't recall, I only feel the shame
So, I embrace the fall and all that remains
Is a shell, a broken piece of a bleeding mind
Living in hell, I'm falling further into decline
So far behind it's got me looking up for a sign
That maybe one of these times gonna finally get it right

We had high hopes in the lowest places
Dead broke and our youth was wasted
Big dreams in the smallest places
Now we're too far gone
We all found love in familiar faces
Bore kids that will soon replace us
Swore nothing would separate us
But we're too far gone

We had high hopes in the lowest places
Dead broke and our youth was wasted
Big dreams in the smallest places
Now we're too far gone
We all found love in familiar faces
Bore kids that will soon replace us
Swore nothing would separate us
But we're too far gone
