lyrics

I've been walking around with my hands clenched, I always got a scowl on my face
The stress of the modern age is impacting my day-to-day
Tired every morning, 'cause I'm wired every night
Try to remember details, but I never get them right

And this caffeine's not doing anything
It's just setting my teeth on edge

I missed every chance to leave
And I froze instead of taking a leap
Now I'm always running on idle
My future's already decided
And I don't see many options left for me

Lately I've been spending more of my time in a drunken state
How long until a phase becomes a personality trait?
Anxiety is causing me to hide away like a coward
Gonna book a flight so no one can reach me for hours

And dramamine may be the only thing
That will finally let me sleep

I missed every chance to leave
And I froze instead of taking a leap
Now I'm always running on idle
My future's already decided
And I don't see many options left for me

I missed every chance to leave
And I froze instead of taking a leap
Now I'm always running on idle
My future's already decided
And I don't see many options left for me

WHOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
