So it turns out that you aren’t
the person you always thought you were
and nobody’s surprised
And it comes as quite a shock
that just giving all you’ve got
was a lie you told yourself to pass the time
This time you’ve got to make a change
This time though everythings the same
I don’t know why you try anymore and if you have the answers
I don’t know what the point of this struggles is if you pedal backwards
This time
You guess their way’s good enough
responsibility is tough
its much easier to let them take the reigns
You've got bills to pay and then
Thoughts inside you head as well
Whats the difference tell them all to go to hell
This time you’ve got to make a change
This time though everythings the same
I don’t know why you try anymore and if you have the answers
I don’t know what the point of this struggles is if you pedal backwards
This time

As I sit beside the damn, a man without a plan
I've got cookie cutter ideals opened straight out of a can
If I had all the answers
would I make better choices heed all the voices in my head
Who are you and who am I
And does it even matter
If I partake in social banter
can I just close my eyes
It seems like every single day
Time passes me on by
And perhaps I should be alarmed
That I don't wonder why
But I know that time
it doesn't wait for anyone
Even if your having fun so just give up
Who are you and who am I
And does it even matter
If I partake in social banter
And I just close my eyes

Counting Sheep

When I think about my health
And I think about my wealth
Well I'm not doing all too bad
But I drink every night
And I always start a fight
With myself why do I love being sad
I engineered my own disbelief
I drank too much to see clearly
It's a quarter past two
And I really have no clue
Why I just can't fall asleep
The bottle sits empty
It's the only known remedy
So here I go, counting sheep
I engineered my own disbelief
I drank too much to see clearly

These 2oz notices that keep coming in the mail
Remind me that I sold something that wasn’t up for sale
I never knew 8 hours could be such a waste of time
Cause i’ll spend a week in seconds trading at the checkout line
The same Everyday
To make ends meet we can’t compete
And nothings gonna change
Are dreams not worth pursuing when they’re sold at such a price
Or is it fear that holds us back from rolling the dice
Are safety and security a cop out or the dream
And if you risked it all would you regret what you had seen
The same Everyday
To make ends meet we can’t compete
And nothings gonna change
To make ends meet we can’t compete
And nothing’s gonna change
To make ends meet we can’t compete
And nothing’s gonna change
To make ends meet we can’t compete
And nothing’s gonna change
To make ends meet we can’t compete
And nothing’s gonna change
The same Everyday
To make ends meet we can’t compete
And nothings gonna change
The same Everyday
To make ends meet we can’t compete
And nothings gonna change
