When I was a kid, I thought my life would end up different
Grow up have a family, get a job that makes a difference
I was fucking wrong, at 21 I’m inconsistent
But progress never loved me, I’ll never love it back
But what am I to say?
I brace the storm, the clouds still end up gray
But what am I to do?
‘Cause all my ships keep sailing back to you
What’s the point of getting older?
Four steps back and two steps forward
You think I’m wrong
I hope you’re right about life
‘Cause I feel so, I feel so cornered
And I’m sorry dad, you won’t see me get my diploma
I won’t walk your alma mater, but you’ve seen through this persona
And I’m sorry mom, you didn’t mean to raise a coward
I hear the disappointment hit the floor from off your tongue
But what did you expect?
I brace the storm, and I’m still feeling dead
What’s the point of getting older?
Four steps back and two steps forward
You think I’m wrong
I hope you’re right about life
‘Cause I feel so, I feel so cornered
Four steps back and two steps forward
Four steps back and two steps forward
Four steps back and two steps forward

Strangers - Acoustic

I've been sleeping like shit
This whole world makes me feel sick
I've been stuck in my depression
Painting the world as a cruel lesson
I'm a prick
And I treat my friends like shit
If you could only see the thoughts inside my head
Well of course it had to rain
It's not like I had plans today
I'll just walk the empty halls of a
House that I grew up in
It's hard to feel ok
When these eyes in picture frames
Only see the person outside
To world I'm only skin deep
Was I like them?
Was I pure?
Did I even have a chance to feel secure?
Well I’m falling asleep in my bed
But I can’t lay my head
Where strangers slept instead
I’m facing the depths of my mind
Intentions inside
That I wished would die
But I’m still alive
Now stop, I hate to ask this
Is there peace inside the storm?
‘Cause it sure as hell ain’t quiet
But the sound just tempts me more
To drown myself in alcohol
In caffeine, music, fuck it all
If nothing here is worth a shit
Is it time that I admit it’s all my fault?
It’s all my fault
Well I’m falling asleep in my bed
But I can’t lay my head
Where strangers slept instead
I’m facing the depths of my mind
Intentions inside
That I wished would die
But I’m still alive
I’m falling asleep in my bed
But I can’t lay my head
Where strangers slept instead
I’m facing the depths of my mind
Intentions inside
That I wished would die
But I’m still alive
Well I’m falling asleep in my bed
But I can’t lay my head
Where strangers once slept

Don't Tell Me I'm A Joke

I had a dream last night I drove myself to work
Spun out while I tried to make the curve
I was scared, but not ‘cause I’m worth shit
‘Cause if I lived, I’d have to pay for it
When I woke, I was five pounds heavier
You can see it, god, I’m never eating again
It doesn’t matter, oh it always fucking matters
In pictures with people who won’t even call me friend
Don’t tell me I’m a joke, I know already
It’s never that hard to see
When my problems overwhelm me
Forget I’m even here, I’m good and ready
To live this life as a ghost
‘Cause that’s how we’re remembered most
I had a dream last night we had another fight
Almost like it happens every time
I can’t pay close attention
To things that need intervention
You say I’m selfish and I don’t blame you
You say I’m wasted and I’d say the same too
I’m struggling ‘cause it’s hard to be
The person I’m convinced everyone needs
Don’t tell me I’m a joke, I know already
It’s never that hard to see
When my problems overwhelm me
Forget I’m even here, I’m good and ready
To live this life as a ghost
‘Cause that’s how we’re remembered most
I know I’m not what you needed
I know I’m not what you’re seeing
It’s feeling like it’s kind of hopeless
To fix what I have become
Don’t tell me I’m a joke, I know already
It’s never that hard to see
When my problems overwhelm me
Forget I’m even here, I’m good and ready
To live this life as a ghost
‘Cause that’s how we’re remembered most
