Just Walk Away

I never know what to say
When good feelings go away
I want these moments to stay
My life is in disarray
Decembers feel so empty
Why is it so hard to see
These nights are getting busy
Tired, i fall to my knees
I’m waking up from a gunfight
In my own mind
And nothing is working
I stop and stare at the dead leaves
In a bad dream
Drifting aimlessly
Trying to find out what i need
But i can’t see
That i’m still broken
Enough is something I can’t get
This is bullshit
I should just walk away
Late night calls filled with dead air
Let out feelings of despair
Sent it a bit too hard there
There’s nothing left to repair
High out of my mind again
Thought things would feel so different
I’m so goddamn discontent
Struggling just to pay rent
I’m waking up from a gunfight
In my own mind
And nothing is working
I stop and stare at the dead leaves
In a bad dream
Drifting aimlessly
Trying to find out what i need
But i can’t see
That i’m still broken
Enough is something I can’t get
This is bullshit
I should just walk away
I can’t remember anything
Of a time where i was
Living life so carefree
Now i just feel dizzy
Casting stones into the sea
Try to make this right
Right by me
I’m waking up from a gunfight
In my own mind
And nothing is working
I stop and stare at the dead leaves
In a bad dream
Drifting aimlessly
Trying to find out what i need
But i can’t see
That i’m still broken
Enough is something I can’t get
This is bullshit
I should just walk away

I Let It Slip

In the end
I tried my best
But my mind prevents me
From doing anything well
I’ve been finding grays
For months on end
My mind is screaming “when will this stress end”
I’ve set alarms
But I slept in
Lost track of all the times
I let it slip
And I know the world
Is too far gone
But I can’t help but think of all the ways
I couldn't save what’s left
It’s fucking hard
Can’t live up to what’s expected
But what’s expected I cannot reach
I'm not proud of who I was then
But I’m not ashamed of who I want to be
I’ve set alarms
But I slept in
Lost track of all the times
I let it slip
And I know the world
Is too far gone
But i can’t help but think of all the ways
I couldn't save what’s left
It’s fucking hard

Check Engine Light

It always seems like there’s a list of things I have to do
But I never have the energy to commit and follow through
Living for the moment, not thinking ‘bout tomorrow
Only doing what I want on time I have to borrow
Oh why, oh why, do I
Get stuck inside my head
The only thing I’m good at
Is putting off my problems
No matter how easy
It is for me to solve them
And there’s a check engine light
Lit up on my dashboard
It’s a simple warning sign
One I’m choosing to ignore
But I keep driving
When I have a deadline my mind becomes so clouded
I try to distract myself so I don’t have to think about it
More and more as time goes on I fall so far behind
I don’t know what’s happening that made me feel so blind
The only thing I’m good at
Is putting off my problems
No matter how easy
It is for me to solve them
When I have to send a message, when I have to make a phone call
When I have to fill out paperwork I freak out and start to stall
The only thing I’m good at
Is running from my problems
No matter how easy
It is for me to solve them
And there’s a check engine light
Lit up on my dashboard
It’s a simple warning sign
One I’m choosing to ignore
But I keep driving
