lyrics

I said things that probably shouldn't have
But I don't think twice in the middle of the night
Woke up with my head still full of dream
It's been so long since I knew what these mean
Old ways new days
It makes no sense to carry this weight
I'm not one for making excuse
But even a punch bag gets rest from abuse
What now is this how are we stuck?
Well just my luck

We are the dim light
trying to guide a safe flight
We are the shipwreck
catching on the fish net
We are the wilting grass
upon the forest floor
We are the fallen fence
That lets intruders in
I am indeed just trying let the world know
Hustling for an answer
Trying to wake a brother
We are all hands tied
We are believers
Waiting for the head roll
Kneeling for the payroll

Caught your reflection in the glass
Behind the bar as I finished my last
Turn and find that you were never there
Turn right back and I toast one to the past
Less is more is true more or less
If what you want is nothing
I guess
What now is this how are we stuck?
Well just my luck
