lyrics

There’s a bible on the floor
There’s an empty vodka bottle in my underwear drawer
Chin up child, oh what a life you have ahead
That’s what they’re all saying if i could only find my head
Is it missing is it hiding was it ever there
Has its power been obstructed by pretending I don’t care

I don’t know but i’m anxious
And I know that i’m not ready
And I don’t know how much longer I can wait

Chaos and confusion are so bittersweet
90 years of living and you might never feel complete
But the search is on and i’m not too strong
And the weather will weather my thin skin
I’ll live for tomorrow and I’ll live for you
I’ll sing to the stars just to thank them for the moon
And a shoulder to rest on at the break of dawn
And my laughter will be tainted with sin

Because contrary to what they tell you to do
I’ll never be playing this game to win


I’m a walking bridge burner
The soles of my shoes they are laced with kerosene
Endings don’t always breed possibilities
I’ll surely learn it one day
But for now just let me be
Now I’m alone
and I’m anxious
And I know that I’m not ready
But I don’t know how much longer i can wait


Chaos and confusion are so bittersweet
90 years of living and you might never feel complete
But the search is on and i’m not too strong
And the weather will weather my thin skin
I’ll live for tomorrow and I’ll live for you
I’ll sing to the stars just to thank them for the moon
And a shoulder to rest on at the break of dawn
And my laughter will be tainted with sin
Because contrary to what they tell you to do
I’ll never be playing this game to win
I’ll never be playing this game to win
