Repilot 02:44
And in the blink of an eye two years pass by I’m not really sure what I did with the time I lost sight of all the things that matter And to tell you the truth I’ve been so damn tired It took all I had just to get by So dealing with my failing brain was hopeless It needs to be ok for us to have bad days For us to phone it in every once in awhile And if it doesn’t work out It really doesn’t matter At least we fucking tried At least we have each other. See I’m a sucker for routine It’s what my family taught me It’s so ingrained I fear that it might kill me But every morning I wake up I’m no different from anyone So for now I’m moving on, I’m getting out It needs to be ok for us to have bad days For us to phone it in every once in awhile And if it doesn’t work out It really doesn’t matter At least we fucking tried At least we have each other.

Well they were simpler times They put up welcome signs And people came from miles around to be there And I was like that once Before my guard came up There was this one girl, maybe she’s the reason We met there once In its final days The shops were boarded up just like her heart And no it wasn’t love What was I thinking of? I guess I needed something to believe in. And if what we had amounts to anything It was just the rain on the concrete setting in She chose to stay and I chose to leave She chose to die and I chose to dream Then the rust set in Eventually Those welcome signs now look like warnings to me When they tore it down We said goodbye I knew that something changed, it was over And if what we had amounts to anything It was just the rain on the concrete setting in She chose to stay and I chose to leave She chose to die and I chose to dream He chose to dream He chose to dream

These towns all look the same And you’re drinking to numb the pain The drink soon turns to rage Then you do it all over again Each day time resets And nobody says a thing We pretend it’s all ok Got to keep it all moving For a week every now and then We get out of town and we pretend Try to reach out. Make connections to the world Try to find some kind of reason for it all We don’t do this for the fame The fact is we can barely play And nobody gives a fuck But we’re clinging to this every day. Maybe it’s worth more To keep ourselves intact It doesn’t mean giving up But for now get out of the van For a week every now and then We get out of town and we pretend We’re not fragile. We’ve got it all figured out But we’re trying to find some kind of meaning in this now Get out of the van and get some help

I’m sick of wasting days like this Yeah I know life is short and we’ll all die But that won’t change a thing it seems So uninspired, so far away from everything My mind is stuck. Hard wired to fail I never thought it would be like this The knowledge of my own mortality Pins me down and chokes the life right out of me Paralysed and scared I’ll fail So what’s the point in ever trying anything? I swear at times it seems I have a near death wish I need something to wake me up from all of this I know we only get one chance at this life But I’m drowning in my thoughts And I can’t swim myself to shore We tried and failed We tried and failed But there’s no shame in giving in Cos some days there’s just no way that you can win I’ll celebrate the smallest victories Slow and steady, that’s the way that I’ll achieve I swear at times it seems I have a near death wish I need something to wake me up from all of this I know we only get one chance at this life But I’m drowning in my thoughts And I can’t swim myself to shore
