Cut away 'cause nothing stays But the ghosts that just won't seem to leave Stay awake for three days straight Or spend a week beneath my sheets I've compromised my state of being For this uncompromising weight I'm building burdens, faith deserted I don't know how I ended up this way But the damage is here to stay How much longer can I keep pushing life away? Another month, another day The longer I keep doing this the more I'll have to pay Another stab, another swing The world is throwing punches and I can't keep up the pace Another tour, another state Another f**ing year without a penny to my name Give it up, push it away I've always been a fan of change But never when that change involves me I'm not a righteous one, no, I'm not a spoiled son I gave it all of my guts but I guess that all just ain't enough I mourn stability, I'm sick of singing over a dead beat The high life is coming down and I got nothing left to say That you would understand anyway, I'm on my own I'm on my own, I'm on my, on my own On my own, on my own, on my own, on my own Even if I throw this away The memory will always haunt me Of the days when the sun was shining So f**ing bright that it's light was blinding Now the sun won't rise again Now the sun won't rise, my friend Now the sun won t touch my face I've accepted my fate, I'm dropping out of the race
