Your Friends

Are you still there? Sometimes it's hard to tell. Are you settling for a life full of dead ends?
I know the feeling. Yes, all too well. Your friends don't care of anything from what I can tell.
Are you still waiting for life to hand you a consolation prize? Is it getting harder to get older? Is it hard to realize?
I know the feeling. Yes, all too well. Your friends don't care of anything from what I can tell.
Every little bit counts, but a little bit is all you've given.

Road Map

Halfway to your home I lost you. Somewhere out on the open road, you shall traverse. These monuments and national parks say a lot without saying a word. Without saying a word.
You had to go. You had to go.
Can't keep you in one place. You pulled out a map. You said "which way shall we go?" The world is big and mean and beautiful. You swallowed it whole, you always do.
You had to go. You had to go.
"No trespassing" signs never kept you out. You got out while you could. Damn you for that. This frozen ground could never be as cold as you've left me.

9 a.m. The same again as I am standing in the place that we once loved. It's hard to face you. It's hard to face the day but I guess nothings ever easy.
Misery, misery, I've known you before, but never this close. Everyday is the same Everyday is the same. It's never ending. Take me away.
I've been hiding from the world. I've been on this ship too long. Longing for this. Yearning for this.

Badge

I wanted more. I wanted everything. What have I to take? These days are numbered. So much to do, so little time. Time eats away at me.
My mouth is dry. I've dried up every chance I have. Please take this badge away from me. I'm not your fucking savior. And I'll watch the time go by so gracefully. Graceful as an orphan. Hated as someone who's loved.
Take that look off your face. You're not going anywhere.
My mark is made. I've served my term. When it's over, don't forget to walk away.
And I'll watch the time go by so gracefully. Graceful as an orphan. Hated as someone.

Card Stacks

I was born in a state of confusion, not knowing what to be. I was hung out, dried up and strung out. That was everything to me. I was beating, I was cheating the cards that were stacked up against me.
I have a job. I had a job and I lost it. I have a girl. Have a girl, she's exhausted.
What can you say you've done but a mistake? A mistake not worth the breath. It was painful. You should be shameful of the state you've left me in. Anxious and afraid. Forever your slave to the field you've sown me in.
I have a job. I had a job and I lost it. I have a girl. Have a girl, She's exhausted.
I get exhausted. Yeah, it's exhausting. I'm on the outside. I'm in the corner. It's on the table. I get exhausted.
