And Now... - Demo

I don't get as high
As I used to
It's not a choice to be more sober
I just can't be goddamn bothered
To get the flame to spark
Or maybe flower just don't hit as hard

But I don't think it's my tolerance
See, I've been trying to assert my dominance
But no one's listening, no one's listening
After a lifetime of conditioning to be soft

And now, I'm tired of being soft
And now, you've really dropped the ball
And now, I'm tired of it all
I've been tired since you called

I'm just getting by
Like I used to
Turns out I'm being stalked on Twitter
Yeah, my life's really in the shitter
I'm kinda scared again
And I'm careful who I call my friends

But I saw my favorite band last night
And honestly, that shit was tight
So are you listening? Are you listening?
I won't give into your conditioning of fear

And now, that's all I've got, my dear
The words I write down are sincere
It won't be long that I am here
I keep my friends safely near
