lyrics

If there's one thing I've learned over the last couple of years
It's that no matter what happens
The world has a way to always bring me down
No matter what I achieve, I never feel good about myself
I'm tripping over my own feet
Burning at both ends but they'll never meet
I can't run from my problems and every night

This dead weight pulls at me I won't get any sleep tonight
All the things I cannot change keep running through my mind
Will one day come when I don't lose what I'm trying to find?
I just need to clear my head but it's too cold to go outside

My body is broken, my head is in pieces
My clothes are too small and my games aren't in their cases
I'm losing sense of who I am
There's got to be something I can do
To take back what you took from me, I don't have to prove myself to you

The only thing I can think about is my friend who passed
I spend more time with you now than I ever could in person
I feel like i'm getting to know you so much more than before
Thank you Joe for some of the best times of my life

(This dead weight won't pull me down)

I'll just go to Barry, get stoned, watch some wrestling
To get my mind off all the shit I hate
This world will not beat me, whatever I'm feeling
I'll keep my head up as long as i'm alive
