lyrics

I tend to run dry
Coming untied
I do the best that I can
Not to lie to my friends
I like the sunshine
Try to be positive
I say some dark things
But I’m not tryna be grim
Been spendin’ all day
Wishin’ you were around
Fuck your call back
You should’ve picked up
I’m goin’ blind here
I’m on overload
I’m under-impressed
I think I’ve run out of luck
I run my own game
Lose my own game
I pay the bills
So what if I’m a little behind
It’s not a contest
I make my own art
Nobody wants it but hey
I’ve got a lot on my mind

I was a young boy
Out in New Orleans
I met a girl I could love
I should’ve gave her a kiss
Out in the streetlight
I took my pass
I saw that look in her eye
The kind of look that you miss

I’m not a mean guy
But I’ve had them green eyes
When I look into the abyss
I feel my gaze is returned
I fight my monsters
I wonder what I’ve become
Perhaps a monster to some
Count it among my concerns
Don’t wanna get high
I just wanna be high
Throw on my dress shoes
And cut up a rug
I’ll be your workhorse
But I’m sleepin’ real late
I gave all my money up
To these leaches suckin’ my blood

I was a young boy
Hiding in a ravine
The fairest face I had seen
Was swimming deep in my mind
It’s childish stuff
But just to look was enough
I wrote your name down
At least a thousand times
