lyrics

in this city you get lost before you're found
i was found before but i guess i'm lost right now
and when i get home on my own
i'm gonna rest my bones then go back out

work is shitty pushy people get me down
they got so much going on so much can go wrong
but when i get done with this shift
i'll remember how to forget

i wanna know if all this shit is meaningless
i'm tired of making is count
and when all the world's asleep
we'll be talking something deep cause we're high
and we just can't figure out
why we'd come down

sometimes the people you love
are gonna make you oh so mad
when that happens you just step right back
cause if you just fight to win
you lose before you begin

i wanna know if all this shit is meaningless
i'm tired of making is count
and when all the world's asleep
we'll be talking something deep cause we're high
and we just can't figure out
why we'd come down
