Checked Out

I woke up to fumes of hot fresh Colombian in the afternoon.
And I was singing a tune of a song I wrote but never finished back in June.
Been walking around with the slouch of my back,
A crick in my neck, needed to get my eyes checked out a long time ago.
I look up at the sky, and I wonder why it took me so long to realize
I checked out, a long time ago.
Woke up with regret, in a hotel in Canton, Massachusetts.
And I put a suit on, to watch my father cry and say goodbye to his mother.
I know I’m a weird sight to see, haven’t been here in years.
Been walking around with the slouch of my back,
A crick in my neck, needed to get my eyes checked out a long time ago.
I look up at the sky, and I wonder why it took me so long to realize
I checked out, a long time ago.
And I say, you’re not supposed to live life this way. X2
I’m not supposed to live life this way.
Well I woke up to fumes, of hot fresh Colombian in the afternoon.
And I was singing a tune of a song I finally finished back in June.
Been walking around with the slouch of my back,
A crick in my neck, needed to get my eyes checked out a long time ago.
I look up at the sky, and I wonder why it took me so long to realize
I checked out, a long time ago.

Tear It Apart

Tear it apart, what do you think of it?
Every single damn thing in my head and you’re now in the thick of it.
I tear myself apart, just for the hell of it.
My mind never turns off anymore and quite frankly I am sick of it.
So don’t be a stranger.
So don’t be a stranger ‘round here anymore.
I’m drinking cold coffee, tryna stay happy.
I’m racking my mind just to find that it’s all been done before.
It’s all been done before.
So don’t be a stranger.
So don’t be a stranger ‘round here anymore.
Cuz I've been a stranger
No don’t be a stranger ‘round here anymore.
I tear myself apart.
Just for the hell of it.

One Step Forward

Just trust me, I am doing fine
I put my pants on, just one leg at a time
I’ve taken to drinking too much coffee a day
I’ve got a weight on my chest and it’s not going away
I've been stalling and waiting to see
If I've got any better ideas up my sleeve.
I've been fighting, fighting the urge to say
That I'm done, that I'm done everyday.
I take one step forward, you take two steps back
And it’s, rushing more words, that I’ll have to take back
You say there’s more than meets the eye with you.
I say, there’s nothing more that I can do.
Cuz I’ve been waiting around for someone like you
I know who it's up to

Growing Pains

I’ve got a crick in my neck, I’ve got a chip on my shoulder
Growing pains aren’t the same when you’re just a bit older.
And I get nervous when I go out, a pit in my stomach I can’t figure out.
I can’t figure out.
It’ll take more than just smoke in my lungs to get over this.
It’ll take just a little time, so don’t hold your breath.
Answers I’ll probably never find, and I’m scared to death.
Take this for all it ever was, and all it ever will be.
I’m better but bitter i don’t know which is worse
Spent all my time thinking why nothing worked
But in the end, I’ll be there.
But in the end, I’ll be…
I moved but you moved farther.
I’d cry, but you’d cry harder.
I sank, but you sank faster than I have have before
I’d cry, but you’d cry harder.
