lyrics

Made up my mind
I'm getting off of this ride
Seems like the right time
Take a dip
See what's behind these lines
And the universe it groans
And I'm not paying my student loans
Feels like a force of nature
Swelled up inside my life

And who knows
Where this is going?

And if it is real
Who cares
Just feel what you feel

Can't live like a regret
Stretching out the concept
But I'm not your pet
Doesn't matter where I've slept

On my own

Caution
Cautious
Kept me
Nervous

Restless
Red kite
Strangled
The Daylight

It's a language
I don't speak too well
Wanting to connect
And knowing that I never will

I'm on the outside
Can't relate to you
Making peace with
The stillness
Of my own groove

There's a growing
Sense of apathy
Wish it wasn't there
But sometimes it's all that I see

It's a lifetime
Full of longing
Spending all your time
Hoping
For some sweet relief

Nonsense
No place
Without
Your Embrace

Work hard
Burn out
Reset
Congrats
You're coping

It's a lifetime
Full of longing
Spending all your time
Hoping
For some sweet relief

There's a growing
Sense of apathy
Wish it wasn't there
But sometimes it's all that I see

I'm on the outside
Can't relate to you
Making peace with
The stillness
Of my own groove

It's a language
I don't speak too well
Wanting to connect
And knowing that I never will

It's a lifetime
Full of longing
Spending all your time
Hoping
For some sweet relief

It's a language
It's a lifetime
Longing for escape
And knowing that I never wil
