lyrics

Mike
These days, I’m just trying to find a way out,
make it outta the maze amazingly and straight erase doubt,
stayed up too late, days are just a daze now,
blazed about 8 pounds laying on the same couch,
tried to find peace of mind, chasing dragons ain’t how,
shooting for the stars is harder when I’m always aiming south,
chose the cards I’m holding wanna fold em’ need the payout,
hoping for the moment I can throw my pocket ace down!
Fix up then break down, it sucks but hey now,
dim something, take out,
reasons I’m repeating where I’ve been and take the same route,
made the same mistake again, I’m being who I hate!
Tried to find a silver lining killing time in rain clouds,
ain’t the way to go about my day it’s time to change how,
I decide to find a path and not look back til’ I’m on,
the right track, I’ll be right back so keep a light on.

Chorus
Someone is friendless and cannot find their way so I
Keep a light in my window,
I want to be back to help restore their faith so I
Keep a light in my window,

Garnet
Part of me thinks i'm beginning to like this,
there isn't much left of me that's still trying to fight this,
i learned the less you care the more you get to keep yourself,
'cause with each failed attempt comes a reminder you can't help,
and if those closest to you can't even hear you when you yell,
why waste words at all? why waste yourself?
i'm walking in circles on a tightrope, trying to keep my
distance from the issue in an effort not to diss you
and this isn't an attack,
it's just something that's been on my mind since way
back, no need to change though,
you do you, i'll keep finding rainbows/
//follow the tracks,
don't look back, and go where the train goes,
eat river grass if it gets that bad,
chain me from my heart to my ankles,

Chorus x4
