signs passing by
they’re no help when i’m trying
to find a place where i feel good
i’ve done so much less than i could
i’m aware i don’t go out as much
as i used to and there’s no “but”
everytime i set my goals high
i end up further in this rut
and i make a promise
to my current self
you won’t be the same next week
write down small steps, ones i can believe
yeah right you bum
you’ll sit on your ass until your brain is numb
no i won’t just watch me
sitting down is the last thing i need
already get that
40 hours every single week

Dwell

i can’t tell you
the last time i looked back
there’s too much to dwell on and regret
present day’s enough i don’t need that
remind me of the time back when
i was a little shit
selfish and did everything, for my own benefit
i’d like to think that i’ve come far
but I’m barely hanging on
with this rent, that drags me along
to this job, do i have an option
to change how this unfolds
or will i just get bored and old

Uncertain

uncertain, overwhelmed
sometimes it feels like
i’m drowning, how could anyone help
every attempt is swallowed, snuffed out
by doubt
and it leaves me almost empty
but something keeps me around
warmth from old smiles, now drags me down
to the ground
but there’s something so real
there’s something I can’t resist
for as long as i’m breathing
i’m thinking, thinking, thinking
and thinking gets me in trouble
not with anyone worse than myself

ooo
you can see, by the way that i spend my time
i’m not sure
that content, and “getting by”
is the best, that I can hope for
i say it’ll be better someday
i just need something to strive for
but that means taking steps
and lately i’ve been lazy
lately just gets longer
I hope one day soon i’ll find the energy
to get out, this black-hole of a room that i spend
most of my time in
where my friends grow and i’ve got nothing to show
for the time that i’ve wasted
no sort of growth
memories gone and faces fading
into the past
i hope one day they’ll last
i don’t mind this place
but i’m losing light
and my guitar and my drum set
they’re all that’s in my sight
you see
that if don’t find the time, and if i don’t find someway
to make this all work out
i’ve thrown my life away

No Time to Wait
03:47

unlace, unzip
a different kind of homesick
from being stuck here too long
too tired to move on
dulling, boring days
that lead me to a state
of fuzziness where i’m
asleep at the wheel of my life
but when i die
i don’t wanna be another person
to say “so much wasted time”
i’ll learn to understand, and really recognize
the things that mean so much to me while i’m alive
no time to wait
no time to wait
for better views
through cloudy hues
no time to wait
no time to wait
i’ll struggle through and i’ll come to
get my head together soon
get my ass off the couch
i’ll go and drive around
i want to, make plans again
i want to hang out
and play a game of something, or have fun doing nothing
cuz languishing away is what i hate
so when i close my eyes
the images and feelings show
i didn’t just decay
i didn’t let my time here go to waste
no time to wait
no time to wait
for better views
through cloudy hues
no time to wait
no time to wait
i’ll struggle through and i’ll come to
things will look up soon
