lyrics

I drown in the colours swirling in my thoughts
I never thought I'd hit the ground this hard
Waiting my life away
Hoping it gets better than yesterday
Looking for something I can hold onto
Just trying to get through this week and the next without seeking an exit

This is what growing up is
Playing pretend waiting for the weekend
and I'm so sick of it
Playing pretend waiting for the weekend

A pit in my stomach, the space in my rib cage
Leaves me feeling all kinds of empty
Waiting my life away
Hoping it's better than yesterday
Yet I'm still searching for some meaning
I'm not sure why anymore
There's nothing to find in the end we're all done for
