lyrics

I spend my days just searching for a phrase that could mean something to me
A passing craze
I'm wasting away in my anxieties

The brink of something
Oh but who's to say what
Need to define what I know

I took a leap
It left me hanging on the edge of it all
Such a long way to go
Such a long way to go

Empty thoughts they keep me restless in the prime of the night
Pursue and resist
So many people afraid to admit that satisfaction does not exist

I've heard the calls through the gaps in the walls
Oh, God
They started to drone
All too familiar
These scars are all shown
Another one who went with the flow
Such a long way to go

Just breathe
You can only find it out on your own
I don't know if I'm on the right track
Oh but it's the only way to go

I don't ever want to live like this
Coasting through accepting it's as good as it gets
Half-hearted decisions left me stuck in myself

It's a long way down
