lyrics

Life flies by. I'm running out of time. My fountain of youth has been sucked dry. There's only a few sips left at this point. Where's my motivation? I keep on heading in wrong directions.
Soon I'll be on my own, kicked out of my home. Forced to get a job, economic slob. Spend my money on depressants to avoid the depression. Yeah, I get the message. That's the direction that I'm headin' in. It's just a stage. I'm trapped in a maze. It's just a phase, things they will change. It just takes steps. A little at a time. Convincing myself that everything's fine

Stuck again in an unlocked room I could leave at any time, but we know that's not true. Holding my mistakes over my head, I really wish I was already dead.

Where's my motivation? I keep on headin' in wrong directions.

I see my friends moving in different directions
while I'm stuck in this town with no intentions
I NEED TO GO I NEED TO LIVE
smothered in hatred with nothing to give
MY BODY IS EMPTY WANTING TO LET GO
of all of these feelings that bother me so
I've failed all my life. Is it already over?
DRUNK OFF THIS FAILURE AND I CAN'T GET SOBER
I WANT TO GO I WANT TO LEAVE
BUT ALL OF THIS IS CRUSHING ME
PLEASE LET ME GO JUST LET ME LEAVE
I'LL DO BETTER JUST LET ME BE
ALL MY LIFE I JUST WANTED TO LIVE
BUT ALL OF YOUR HATE KEEPS CRUSHING IT
SO LET ME GO
LET ME LEAVE
I'M OVER THIS
AND YOU'RE DONE WITH ME

I could've gone any way in life so why did I choose this one?
I almost felt completely fine before it all begun.
I guess it's just growing up, a part of life.
But growing up brings growing pains, and now I'm shutting down
