lyrics

Don't think that you're alone
When you talk about your hardships
I can see your fears,
We all carry them
Misunderstood and labeled as fuck-ups
Dragging the same old excuses through the dirt behind us

Do you really want to stay like this?
It'll drag us down
It'll break us

I thought it made more sense to just leave
And put this behind me
As I pull the clock off the shelf
I'm planning how I'm gonna get out

Four years of misdirection
Four years of indecision
A lifetime of questions, no easy answers
But don't let that self doubt
Drag you to the ground and burn you out
Don't let the weight of what could have been
Break your promises

I know it's not an easy thing to live with some days
But happiness is a direction, not a destination

I know it makes more sense to just leave
And put this behind me
As I pull the clock off the shelf
I'm planning how I'm gonna get out

We can't spend all of our time on the things that we lack
"Not even the richest man can buy back his past"

So much of this sounds like bullshit
Even to me
I'm sick of pretending I don't see
This world and its beauty
For the sake of writing something self-deprecating
We're in this together
Let's show them our broken wings won't falter, admit defeat
For worse or for better
Maybe this will write me out of your mind
But at least I'll be able to sleep at night

These are our footsteps in the snow
This is our progress built from matchsticks
Finding perspective to be the people we ought to be
Find the strength to fill our lives with honesty

I spent a lot of time angry
Jaded and empty
Self-absorbed, full of apathy
But it's time to move on
It's time to move on
It makes us strong.
