lyrics

I can’t forget the words that she said,
As they rattle back and forth right through my head,
Now I can’t escape, even though I found a way

The time has come and I made it on my own,
I won’t relive the past even though I made it home,
I found a way to forget my sins

Walking down the streets where I’d while away the time,
Trying every second to abandon my own mind,
Living in a daydream was never meant to show,
The time I have left, before I have to go

When I was a child I never understood,
That the hours in a day will never feel that good,
I’m an adult now, I’ve got to earn my pay

Life is a beach, that’s what I’m told,
But the breeze upon the shore always feels so cold,
And yeah it stays with me, grazing my skin

Carving out my life will surely hurt the most,
But if I’m successful I hope I never boast,
It would end me, not worth the time of day

Society is just a single bloody maze,
And I’m having trouble seeing through this drunken haze,
Because it’s wearing me, wearing me down so thin
