lyrics

I lay here
staring at the ceiling of my apartment
wondering why I'm here and where my time went
I once was young
and full of aspirations
now I'm a pessimist at best
living every day just like the last

and I know I've been losing sleep
thinking bleak, indifferently
at how I'm not where i am supposed to be

have I given up on all my dreams up to now
Have I been running in circles, or am I just feeling down
Was it wasted potential or have I lost touch
Have I run out of luck
Or am I just stuck

I just want to be something i’m proud of
Did I live my life at best?
Now I’m wasting away 8 to 5
At a desk just like the rest
Maybe this is all I can manage

have I given up on all my dreams up to now
Have I been running in circles, or am I just feeling down
Was it wasted potential or have I lost touch
Have I run out of luck
Or am I just stuck

I’m always wasting my time telling myself I’m never growing up
But instead I’m growing old
(and I’ve got nothing to show)
Remaining static in complacency
Asymmetry
I’m falling behind
I won’t catch up on time

Have i given up

have I given up on all my dreams up to now
Have I been running in circles, or am I just feeling down
Was it wasted potential or have I lost touch
Have I run out of luck
Or am I just stuck

Or am I just stuck

Was it wasted potential or have I lost touch
Have I run out of luck
Or am I just stuck
