I’m losing sleep, I haven’t rested my eyes for weeks I think I’ve managed to stay clean on this long and lonely road that I’ve been traveling on, so could you please tell me, what did you ever see in this place to have lasted this long was it the drugs we took the late night shows where no one really cared to ever dance, or sing along could you even blame me at all the stress built up and watched you fall for once I could say I’m done with it all but its only me, I'm wishfully thinking tell me where we go from here you got me past drunk thinking that we made it clear too little too late, I’m not another mistake for your books a few ripped pages, was all I ever took from you but I never quite told you, that’s the truth so forgive me my lips stay chapped, just like the winter mornings you’re cold and boring just like your stories were but I never told you this, that I’m sure. so could you even blame me… at all the stress built up and watched… you fall for once i could say i'm done… with it all but thats only me, I'm wishfully thinking… tell me where we go from here you got me past drunk thinking that we made it clear too little too late, I'm not another mistake for your books from which the pages I took. so tell me where we go from here you got me past drunk screaming that we made it clear too little too late, I'm not another mistake for your books

Underrated 03:24
I said you're going to make it out of this one, kid. it's all about perspective. and yeah, you put in the work, got hurt, lost sense of your direction. it's safe to say that you can't call it quits. you better quicken your step or else, you may find yourself alone again, it's maybe not what you're hoping, but it could be something more worth your time. if you won't ever stop to face this now, they say you'll always be running (always be running). you'll be the joke of the world, when they all laugh at your dignity. so just stop and face the reality of as if its only bad timing, (only bad timing) but when the push comes to shove, you won't be part of the problem. something to keep as a reminder; you're not the only one alive. so keep your chin up n' out of the water, as if it's your only means to survive. you've bottomed out, no don't you give up now! so close to figuring it all out… don't relapse... you're underrated.

not sure how i should put this into words nor am I sure it will make it out I'm taking a risk, as it is so could you please, please listen and hear me out they always say its better later than never but i swear since things have weathered I'm feeling guilty as ever but it looks as though you made it out just fine or maybe that was just a lie. the choice that got shoved in place I was truly afraid of the what ifs and could I have stayed to stand tall and face this change somehow I feared you were more into giving up than working out. all that time is meaningless now. but for the sake of being sane I’ll be okay. what’d you expect from me I wasn’t there like i should’ve been yet here i am with my head buried deep beneath the ground Im begging you to dig me out and throw me back on my feet to be the man i used to be, before a wave of destruction pulled me underneath you got your song like you asked for sung in a passionate minor a bittersweet, whiskey sour cleansing regret till the back of my throat burns fire

Im not quite myself here you’d correct me if im wrong it all just seems to fade to grey you claim to see through me as if my body’s transparent its nothing short of arrogance to say that you know me at all I never asked for your opinion on anything… but when you say your problem is “Its just a phase to pass the time” then you're screaming lies the only one you’re fooling is yourself narcissistic with all your pride you’d never own up to save a life would you think it twice to draw a line between virtue and the vice you’re still hung up on delusions of how you see no right from wrong. always “The Center Of Attention”, more like an asshole on his throne and I’m tired, of this never ending cycle oh I’m tired now you're just another friend i’ve lost along the way never asked for your opinion on anything… once you‘ve got it figured out there will be no doubt, you’re the one to blame for this
