lyrics

How did it get this way? This is more than my body can take. And you seem so far away. How did I get this way?
These days it’s a struggle to pick up the pen. Oh, these days I hesitate. They say, “You better learn to show some restraint.” But it’s not safe to stay inside and just hesitate. 19 years of steadying emotion. In just one moment, I’m back to where I left. Devices designed to defeat our vices. They are tearing me apart. These days it’s a struggle to pick up the pen. Oh, these days I hesitate.
The time for words has passed. Pick up your pace and don’t drag.
Don’t drag your feet. Better pull your weight. It’d be a big mistake not to face the truth. Just one small misstep can overtake you. Sometimes relief feels like defeat, pulling up the weeds without the roots. And I’ve got nothing to say ‘cause it’s got a hold of you.
These days it’s a struggle to pick up the pen. Oh, these days I hesitate. They say, “You better learn to show some restraint.” But it’s not safe to stay inside and just hesitate. 19 years of steadying emotion. In just one moment, I’m back to where I left. Devices designed to defeat our vices. They are tearing me apart. These days it’s a struggle to pick up the pen. Oh, these days I hesitate.
Don’t make a sound ‘cause no one’s listening. I will be your undoing or it will undo me. Don’t make me come down there. I’m already spent. I will be your undoing or it will undo me.
