Tell me something that I haven't heard in ages
Like "life is what you make it"
Or "it's okay to make some changes"
And I know every line I write seems well thought out
It's just what's on my mind
And every chord that I break down into melodies, it only means that I lost self esteem
And this time the key is fading into sympathy for myself, what else is new?
I learned a lot but lost just as much
I took a breath and kept my mouth shut
Just so I didn't have to prove that there's no point in always being sad and
It takes a lot to choose a side when you've made connections and the ropes are tied
It just takes a little motivation to draw your sword, rear back, and break them
And I haven't felt like This in months now
I guess it's just this town
I'm sick of everything and everyone here
Sometimes we joke about where life may take us
But we have no control
We'll go wherever the van can get us to
The ropes are cut
My lips are shut
My skull is numb
Our time has come
