lyrics

It’s business as usual. I get myself out of bed. Coming apart at the seams, I stitch myself back up. And the harder I try, the more I fall behind. If it’s all in my head then why is my heart so heavy? There are more than words on this paper, more to what I’m trying to say. And I thought I could take it but a stiff wind blew the roof through.
It might not be what you expected but at least it’s honest. Grit your teeth and bare it. You aren’t entitled to anything. It’s the same ticking clock and it rings so loud in my head. Youth, resurrect me. Youth won’t be the death of me.
All these bridges I have burned. I thought I had learned. I’m fighting tooth and nail ‘cause it’s heads or tails. I wish this was the punchline, but the joke was over before I started. This part is the hardest but I’ve got to pull through. They say you can’t gather fruit from the thorns. But still my hands bleed from all these thorns that I have worn.
I’m trying to find the answer without knowing which questions to ask. Have you come to hear a false prophet? Well, good things just aren’t meant to last. I’m pulling it end by end. How did I even get started. The truth is, I’ll never win but at least my aim is honest.
It might not be what you expected but at least it’s honest. Grit your teeth and bare it. You aren’t entitled to anything. It’s the same ticking clock and it rings so loud in my head. Youth, resurrect me. Youth won’t be the death of me.
When you’re sharp for gain, you stand to lose everything. So take your aim to hit the mark. The target is marked but I’m wearing down. The fire’s lit so I keep burning. The river flows, the stream runs dry. Behind the scenes, I unravel these seams. These seams.
It might not be what you expected but at least it’s honest. Grit your teeth and bare it. You aren’t entitled to anything. It’s the same ticking clock and it rings so loud in my head. Youth, resurrect me. Youth won’t be the death of me.
