lyrics

Well I've been waiting in this prison for so long that I can't wait until I'm free and I've been holdin' onto these thoughts since I began that I don't know just who I am or what I've become and I've been drinkin' myself into asceticism in the hopes that I'll be a better man, but the only thing that I'll ever become is a vagabond that can't use his tongue and the silence that will wash over me are the shortcomings I'll never believe, it's the promises I thought I would keep that have manifested inside of me, it's the lies that will always remain as they form to truths inside of my brain, if I could only think of a line that would justify my reason in rhyme, then I guess I would feel quite accomplished, but I'm only conveying gibberish

Instead I sit here writing songs about my incessant self-loathing, if it wasn't for these things, I wouldn't be strumming strings and I can't even give a fuck about a happy song, I accept the notion that satisfaction means that you are wrong, but in time I've come to find my words are meaningless, only cannon fodder for my glorified helplessness, if you ask me the best way to overcome yourself within, I wouldn't have an answer, but I could sure as hell pose the question
