I've been up since three in the morning
And I'm wearing down
She's had me chasing my tail for days
Running around this goddamn town
Trying so hard to pick up the pieces
Find the creases
Hang them out to dry
But now my fingers are split and bleeding
So while my callous peeling
You'll get to help me
Fly about
I'm no cavalier without
Over time I've seen a lot of things
I'm not that proud to talk about
Call out my name
To save the day
Believe me when I tell you I don't feel like I'm okay
Not that I'd even want to
One step out of line is still one step in the right direction
So make the connection it's saved me too
I've been hearing some things over this past year
And it's making me fucking sick
I'm proud to say I'm better off that way
I'm looking forward towards tomorrow
While you're looking back upon today
It's not something to cry about
I'm so cavalier without
Over time I've seen a lot of things
I'm not that proud to talk about
Call out my name
To save the day
Believe me when I tell you I don't feel like I'm okay
Not that I'd even want to
One step out of line is still one step in the right direction
So make the connection it's saved me too
I'm proud to say I'm better off that way
(Sing it out just a little louder, sing it out til the walls begin to shake)
I'm looking forward towards tomorrow
While you're looking back upon today
(Sing it out just a little louder, sing it out til your lungs begin to ache)
I'm proud to say I'm better off that way
(Sing it out just a little louder)
The verse "Can't even buy a coffee without exploiting someone" got me. It really hits hard. For the entire length of the album it felt like the end of the world.
But to be perfectly honest, it's just how life is these days. And it's fucked up. szczur
