lyrics
This life isn't so when I imagine myself
always at the top of my game
when and where I can sow and
harvest the happiness, but
this life just isn't so
oh, five whole months and not
a whole lot has changed
it's like I'm running away from
my morning shadow backwards
with the words I'm running backwards.
Do you believe in anything that I say
it's so hard to believe when I don't even
impress me
You wouldn't believe with all these pills
that I'm still standing still
it's so hard to believe when I don't even
impress me
It's getting cold and
changing the time is something I'd
rather not tell because I am
weak and without the sun
I am a freak
And running away seems so much harder than
sticking around, you know,
you seem to surprise yourself when you
don't even know your own name.
When I'm running away,
I won't look back to see your face.
always at the top of my game
