Broken nose, another textured ceiling
I know where I am, I’ll pretend like I’m lost
Sometimes I want to vanish completely
And call in sick from life
I woke up and didn’t feel better
Don’t know why I act surprised
At least each year is getting shorter
And the ocean’s on the rise
'Cause I’m terrified there’s no more waiting
I’m running out of what comes next
Running through jobs I’m gonna hate
Living paycheck to paycheck
Like my parents, and their parents
And their parents before them
I should be happy I have no personal effects
But I’ve got my encore
I’m back living on their floor
But I feel like burning down my life again
And watch the fire spread over my skin
Until I’m nothing left but skeleton
I saw a sign in Hanover
That said, the future is in motion
But the motion has me sick
It’s okay, I’m sick of standing
I'm still paying off a good idea
From when I was 23
A life spent living off loans
When I still don’t know what I love
I’m over-leveraged, my credit’s gone weak
And the city turned off the power
You know it’s dark most of the week
But if I burn this place down
We’d have some heat
At least I’m seeing things more positively
Because I swear to God, I’m an optimist
But I feel like burning down my life again
And watch the fire spread over my skin
Until I’m nothing left but skeleton
A pile of dust that's free just floating in the wind
But brave faces everyone
I’m always looking up and you’re jumping
But brave faces everyone
But this world, it has no empathy
We’ll never find our own place
And if nothing gets better
It’s as bad as it seems
Why can’t we say, fuck it?
You know it’s not what we need
Because we're just so fucking tired
If you're not okay
I'm feeling lower than anyone
They're praying for you
I'm tired anyway
'Cause I'm tired
Brave faces everyone
(Just let me ruin my guts tonight)
It can't be this bleak forever
Pointing out dead dogs on the road
I'm tired anyway
This is all you get
Hoping all this time but all you find
I’m sick of yelling at strangers
Don’t want to do this forever
And when it all burns down
Will you carry me over?
We don't have to fix everything at once
We were never broken
Life's just very long
Brave faces, everyone
