where did everything i once loved go?
i never asked to be this left alone,
with my thoughts and wasted dreams
'cause you see, i have gotten good at killing time
and getting bored with american life
reminders of my better years
have burnt away and forged new fears
i don’t want to tell my friends
how stagnant and burnt out i’ve been
i know nothing stays the same
but why must we change?
get me up out of bed
and get me to move instead
i’ve gotta face the fact that we act the way we see ourselves,
and i’m just collecting dust
there’s no safer place than in my head
the rest of the world wants me dead
but i’m past the point at 25
where i should care to be alive
and practice self respect
keep my dignity in check
well, let’s jumpstart this motivation
break these chains i’ve made myself
if i only gave a damn,
i could do more than i think i can
get me up out of bed
and get me to move instead
i’ve gotta face the fact that we act the way we see ourselves,
and i’m just collecting dust
(don't give up, just get going)
i've had enough of myself, still staying dormant
expecting someone else to save me from indifference
i’ve been a victim of my wasted time by letting everybody else decide
but i will never let myself stay pushed aside
get me up out of bed
and get me to move instead
i’ve gotta face the fact that we act the way we see ourselves, (see ourselves)
reminders of my better years
have burnt away and forged new fears
i don’t want to tell my friends
how stagnant and burnt out i’ve been
but i’m past the point at 25 (don't give up, just get going)
where i should care to be alive
and practice self respect (don't give up, just get going)
but i'm just collecting dust
