Fuck Tomorrow

 Stuck in a loop

A metronome 

A fucking tragedy 

The whole world

Is burning to the ground

What a mess

That would be

Watching it go up in flames

I don't care

I'm living for this shit to end

Don't know how much more

I can bare

Forget this day

This moment

Right now

It doesn't matter

Fuck tomorrow 

I wanna have some fun

I'm tired of playing 

By the rules

I'm tired of running

And getting nowhere

It doesn't seem fair

Fuck tomorrow 

I just wanna have some fun

Lately it feels like

I'm writing the same shit

It doesn't seem right

But it's all I have left

Tired of standing back

Waiting for some sort of

Qualifications 

Anything to save me

It's oversimplification 

But the math never adds up

I'm screaming

Cause this silence 

Is deafening

This stillness

Isn't what it's cracked up to be

It's ridiculous 

But it's all I can see

Waiting

Just waiting

(Can't) Be Like You

 Can't break

Everything I am

Can't fake

Anything around

It's all real

No shame 

No hate

No facade

I'm not fucking around 

With anyone

That doesn't understand 

I'll throw it in your face

These days

It feels like

Everyone's playing a game

It's okay

We're all going insane 

Pretending the old ways

Still work the same as yesterday 

So I'm 

Never looking back 

Never giving up

Never thinking twice

About where I'm going 

Forget about the past 

Forget about the pain

Forget about never knowing 

What the future holds

It never mattered much

I don't wanna be like you

Stuck in misery

At a dead end since 23

I don't wanna be like you

Picking on everyone

Acting like my shit don't stink 

I don't wanna be like you 

Blaming the world

For all of my mistakes 

I'll never be like you

I refuse to be as pathetic 

I won't be like you

Monsters Never Die

 Living on the edge 

I let you in my head

You left it a mess

Ashes on the ground

Wishing I was wasted

Instead of wasting time

Taught me how to fake it

I memorized it

I'm never going down

Without a fight

Leave me broke and bruised 

I'll show you spite 

Monsters never die

We just learn 

How to survive 

So bring on the war

I live for the panic

Make up your mind

Cause I want more

Keep driving me forward

I dont want to stop

Show me the fear

The paranoia 

Cause monsters never die

We just survive

Never for a moment

Did I ever wish this 

Got me screaming

Bloody murder

Waiting for an answer

Is this rebellion 

Or another reason

To dissappear 

Listen to this sound

All this frustration

Bringing me down

Starting fires

For the noise

Need to drown this out

In the smoke 

In the lies

Deception of the crime

You left a mess in this head

Ashes everywhere

Still Choking On Yesterday

 Heavy's the heart

Looking for some peace

Living under the stars

Wanting to make history

 

I lost sight of these big dreams

Been living for everyone else

But myself

Keeping stuck in misery

Nothing make sense

It's alright

I'll be fine

Finding my own way

My way out of this hell

 

I don’t have time

To live the past

I don’t have time

Looking for the right cast

Gotta keep this head on straight

Forget about the rest

No time for regrets

I've got big dreams

Gotta live my best

And fly like a shooting star

I'm not done yet

 

Roaming the streets

Looking at yesterday

Living life on a stage

Stuck in this disarray

Broken pieces everywhere

A torn-up puzzle

Sitting in front of me

Where do we go

From here

 

Lately it feels like

I'm writing the same shit

It doesn't seem right

But it's all I have left

Tired of standing back

So I keep telling myself

Never look back

You'll get farther than you are

Don't slow down

Don't think twice

Keep moving on

You'll never know unless you try

Fly like a shooting star
