They say, "How are you today?"
I say I don't know for sure
Don't feel the same as before
There's all of this pain I ignore
"Have you been lost in your way?"
Yeah, like I'm trapped in a maze
Seems like the whole world is lost
So then I guess I'm okay
Something ain't right
All of these decisions ain't mine
Thinking I was steering, I'm just here for the ride
Gotta take five, and reevaluate
All I know for now is that I really need to graduate
I started late, but somehow I'm still tortoise with the pace
Staying up recording 'til it's late
Mama's sleeping in the other room so I gotta keep a whisper
At least 'til I afford to get a place
When I look outside, gray is all I see
Looming over me
But when I close my eyes
It's where I wanna be, slowly as I breathe
And it's all getting to be too much
A never ending need to rush
I'm feeling cooped up and I know you can hear it
Sounding like the same old song, different lyrics
Somehow, I always blame myself
For things that just can't be helped
Thinking whatever life throws, I could turn into power
Maybe sometimes the lemons are just sour
It's 9:43
The night's still young but I'm ready to sleep
I find myself irritated by the smallest of things
Like, "Why does bad shit always gotta happen to me?"
It's all trivial compared to everything on TV, yeah I know that
And no, I've never taken Prozac
Maybe it's a sign of these crazy ass times
Either way I need my daily calm
Yeah when I look outside, gray is all I see
Looming over me
But when I close my eyes
It's where I wanna be, slowly as I breathe
