This town’s downfall has been so sad to see
I’ve never felt more detached from the place that gave birth to me
Maybe I just miss the same old faces I used to know
Maybe it’s resentment for secretly always wanting to go
And being left to swim around in the sea of a failed dream
With nothing but my own thoughts to keep me company
Chewing over futile semantics is a simple waste of energy
But I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t my new favourite hobby
I’m so full of excuses
I think by now even you can see the reoccurring pattern
When I let people in I’m just looking for a salvation
Because I refuse to find the required strength from within
But tonight
I’ll do my best to prove all the doubters wrong
Even if I have to come face to face with things that make me want to die
Overcoming those obstacles, I know
Is the only way that I will once again feel alive
