Sometimes I feel like quitting Nothing specific, the life I'm living Lost it's rhythm, dimmer vision Cut the lights off, bad decisions Take the venom, it's like even when I win I still feel like I'm not winning I should have nothing to fuss about, everything gravy But I don't give a f*ck about anything lately Many friends long gone, past life fading Makes me question who I am, last in line waiting I've been waiting for what, it never comes Give me something, anything, good or bad I'll never run Turned my life around, picked it up, put it on the tracks Left it all behind, went underground and never looked back But along the way I lost something, but I don't know what it is We never know how much we need it 'till it's lost in the abyss Many tried but can't replace it, once it's dead and gone This goes out to those who lost their drive and will to belong Cup half empty, feelings of envy We pretend we're better off alone Watching intently, always defending Against anyone who tries to feel at home Alone is a disease, in the cold we freeze True then lonely never leaves Still we don't concede, maybe feel it as we scream Like a strong wind blowing through the leaves And now it's cool to be depressed But those who claim it never know what it's like to feel the stress No rhyme or reason, a feeling so subtle that I forget And go on with life, full speed running to the end But that's all it is, a race with no purpose Make it across the finish line and still feel worthless Stuff the feeling deep inside with little lies But it always comes back to the surface No matter how hard I try, it's never hard enough No matter how far I go, it's never far enough They say life is what you make it, an I've made a lot But this voice inside keeps talking and I can't make it stop Make it stop, thoughts only fade when the drinks heavy Severed ties several times, attempt to be steady But change is doomed to fail unless it's from within I'm stuck because inside is empty, never full again Cup half empty, feelings of envy We pretend we're better off alone Watching intently, always defending Against anyone who tries to feel at home Alone is a disease, in the cold we freeze True then lonely never leaves Still we don't concede, maybe feel it as we scream Like a strong wind blowing through the leaves Sometimes I wonder why I'm here No TV show, uncovered fears Life is not the wonder years Scream but nobody hears Wanna leave but it's coming clear My mind became a prison life sentence and I'm stuck in here I sold myself for a dime and a magic bean But money falls short, it can't buy you what you need We all give up on dreams just to keep our pockets fatter Like all we see is green, but in the end it doesn't matter The rat race, and price is steep, no joke In the end you lose your friends, left with no hope Disconnected, we're all disconnected Lives with no meaning, demeaned and disrespected Feelings of rejection, we've all been rejected All the mirrors broke, no self reflection We all have more in common than we know A fact that's overlooked because we all feel so alone
