It's a vicious cycle
The sun comes up just to drag me down
And I've been running circles
Trying to be a whirlwind
Not a breeze that can't be felt
If I keep looking forward
Maybe what's left behind will go away
Then this city that's my mind
Can recover from urban decay
Am I really what I wanted?
I guess if I can't be honest with myself, that's just fine
But I get sick of living with a tongue that's tied
Tripping up just trying to prove to myself that I'm right
And that for once I really fucking tried
I can't keep pretending everything will be okay
When I'm not willing to stare my fears in the face
I'm not sure if I can live life this way.
