High & Dry

I’m stuck in Los Angeles and I’m staring at the sky
Our dreams frozen indefinitely the world has gone awry
And I’d do almost anything just to make me feel alive
But there seems to be no hope out there it seems all signs of life are leaving us
High, high and dry
I’ve got no reason to believe that everything will be alright
You're leaving us high, high and dry
It’s the end of the world as we know it and I wish that I felt fine
They try to divide us based on ideology
Separate us by race and class, tell us we’re equal, tell us we’re free
Yet we’re all born on stolen land, where billionaires profit off a pandemic
Will those economics trickle down I guess we’ll wait and see? Why do I feel…
High, high and dry
I’ve got no reason to believe that everything will alright
I’m feeling so high, high and dry
It’s the end of the world as we know it and I wish that I felt…
Over and over and over again
I keep getting used to the pain that I’m in
But I’m getting tired of doing nothing
while the people up top still continue to win
They’ll say smile and nod while you stare at the floor
While your presidents wage these nonsensical wars
Over oil and ego, thousands left dead
Yeah I’m tired of eating this bullshit I’m fed

The Way I Feel Tonight

Haven’t felt happy in days
It’s been so long since something good has come my way
But it’s so easy for me to hide than to do anything
Yeah
This may be who I am right now
Wish I could guarantee that someday I’ll be someone else
How do I escape this bubble that defines myself?
And I’ve got so much I can’t figure out
Are these things I’m doing to myself alright?
Stubbornly trapped in my doubts instead of asking for help
It seems that that’s the way I feel tonight
It seems that that’s the way I feel tonight
Oh yeah
I guess its time for a change
Rather than beat myself up til feels it’s normal then do it again
I’m over chasing perfection I’m over everything
Yeah
And I’ve got so much I can’t figure out
Are these things I’m doing to myself alright?
Stubbornly trapped in my doubts instead of asking for help
It seems that that’s the way I feel tonight
I sit around getting nothing but older
I can’t live with this chip on my shoulder
How can I expect this world to change for me
If I can’t change myself, why should I expect anything?
I’m not myself I’m out of my mind
I’ve gotten so far yet feel I’m falling behind
Am I growing up, finally?
It’s okay not to know, so I guess I’ll just be
I’m not myself I’m out of my mind
I’ve gotten so far yet feel I’m falling behind
But I’m growing up, finally
I’ll find my place in this world someday where I can feel free
I’m growing up, finally
I’ll find my place in this world where I can be
