"Wasted Hours"

There's a complex thought on the tip of your brain
A question with no answer staring you in the face
And the whole room is spinning and you're stuck in a haze
And you're 13 deep when you hit that moment of clarity

All that's left is the taste of your stomach gone sour
Another empty case of beer, another wasted 12 hours
Just you and your mind on the same dead end street
Set to the sound of track 13 blasting on repeat

Now you're flat on your back with your head on the floor
And you finally think you know what you're on this earth for
Yeah it's there for a second, just a moment in time
Suspended in the air and stuck in your mind

Yeah it's there for a second, just a moment in time
Suspended in the air and stuck in your mind
Then you shift your eyes, blink and its gone
On your back on the floor in a room all alone

Wasted Hours

"the future was supposed to be flying cars"


I’m living with my parents
Can’t afford my own apartment
We got robots making music
I’m in retail treated like shit
Is it just me? Should I be more?
Things are different than I really hoped for
I’m human till I clock in
Then I’m nothing, I’m just nothing

I’m stuck, I want to throw up
I want to stay in my bed, everything’s a mess
This sucks, why did I grow up?
Don’t want to take another step, my life is wasted, yeah

(Hey! Hey!)

Strangers on their keyboards
In the comments, starting dumb wars
There’s bad news on the TV
But I’m burnt out from what’s around me
Compassion out the window
Gotta have the newest smartphone
I’m crazy ‘cause I take meds
But who’s crazy in the end?

I’m stuck, I want to throw up
I want to stay in my bed, everything’s a mess
This sucks, why did I grow up?
Don’t want to take another step, my life is wasted

Eight billion people alive
But we only seem to fight
I wonder if we’ll really be alright

the future was supposed to be flying cars

"Anniversary"


Wake up in the afternoon
The winter’s coming soon
Grab your hats and coats
The rain is coming down, unlike you

And I’ve never be afraid
Of this annual charade
Mark the time off on the calendars
The ones that we both hate

And I think this time will be the hardest yet
Bury both your hand in your pockets
It's never easy when you're the youngest

In the meantime running our mouths about how I'll never change; and just like you,
I wish that I was stronger but I know I'll never change, just like you

The rain is coming down
So I'll just close my eyes
Feel the change in the wind, in the air, well it's no surprise…

We're not giving up
This time around
And I swear to my bones that I can feel it in the ground

These quiet eyes won't open as the day turns into night
Clock on the wall is screaming everything's gonna be alright
But my hands are shaking cold and my fingers numb
Just take a look outside to see what you've become

See what you've become
