Gabe Ma**ey - Ambition lyrics

[Verse 1] You're falling asleep on your best friend's couch In the house where the wildlife tries to get out The conversation continues downstairs As you're tied up and beaten in this desolate chair Take me back to where the night all began Smiling faces and smoke beneath the ceiling fan Different cells, we're spending time by ourselves As she joins me on the deck, and she says [Chorus] "Do you ever go out at night and stare at the stars And wonder why you're not pa**ed out in the back seat of your car? Cause even when you're so far from home, you're never alone But once everyone's gone, you'll fail to move on." [Verse 2] All faith is lost as we cross the threshold to the living room Nervous and afraid, unable to sleep for days Because the fires in my head make a path to the bed Where she takes my hand and pushes me away We stumble out through the door to the dirt outside You could watch the light bounce off the windows as she cries "When are you gonna learn that all that you have tried to grow and build wasn't what you meant when you wanted to be fulfilled?" [Chorus] "Do you ever go out at night and stare at the stars And wonder why you're not pa**ed out in the back seat of your car? Cause even when you're so far from home, you're never alone But once everyone's gone, you'll fail to move on." [Bridge] (I make my way inside this house of debauchery and sin As the holiest one here tears the threading in his skin They sit on the back porch, their silhouettes form into one The faint hum of music repeating inside the sun) She's sleeping in the guest room down the hall Wiping her memory of a digital love Done with a chemical art, feigned from the start I'll never find the answers needed by my selfish heart [Chorus] "Do you ever go out at night and stare at the stars And wonder why you're not pa**ed out in the back seat of your car? Cause even when you're so far from home, you're never alone But once everyone's gone, you'll fail to move on." "You're falling asleep on your best friend's couch Just like you did when you were trying to get out What you lack in ambition you make up in things that never came true And all of this is why I could never love you." [End] (I swore I'd never leave when we climbed into the pit Of dismal intentions and crimes to commit Now the blankets wrap around you and kiss you goodnight Like you said from the beginning, "you'll never win this fight") (Take me back before the night Lead me shivering towards the light Loneliness pushes in the pins In this shell that I'm living in)
