lyrics

Here I stand
Without a drink in hand
Can’t decide
More or less a man

But you know
You know you’ve seen it all
You know
And who cares?

I’m getting sober
But I’m getting so burnt out
It’s hard to act my age
When I can’t see through the haze

Sometimes it just hits you
Like a ton of bricks
And sometimes it just hits you

I don’t know about you
But I’m over it
I don’t about you
But I guess I’m not
Ever really over it all
Cuz it feels so much better
And I just wanna say that

I’m getting sober
But I’m getting so burnt out
It’s hard to act my age
When I can’t see through the haze

House show on a Friday night
Why does my hope refuse to die?
Why don’t I just go get high
Why do I just keep asking why?
It’s not about a lack faith
Or medicine to take its place
It’s more about the feeling
That anything I do
Even matters at all

I’m feeling sober
But I’m getting so burnt out
It’s hard to act my age
When I can’t see through the haze
I’m getting sober
But I’m getting so burnt out
Why don’t we talk about it?
Nobody wants to talk about it at all...
