On Regime Change

Thumbnail

Stuck in the same place, my failures repeated

I’m fighting against the demons I defeated

Trapped in this familiar feeling, I’m nothing

Blinded by anger that fades back to nothing

Back behind the space I keep between me and you

Watching the outside from within

When will I stop feeling like I’m treading water

Waiting for life to begin

All I do is change but the world stays the same

All I do is change but it stays the same

I keep running, I’m out of breath

But I don’t know what else to do

I keep running towards my death

Chasing myself in a loop

Push me hard enough I may fall

But I’m getting back up standing tall

You can own everything but you’ll never own me

I gave what I can each time

I’ll give it all until I die

Sometimes it means I need to go away

Be by myself if I’m gonna be ok cuz

I’ll give what I can this time

I never asked for this fucking life

I wake up every day to a dark sky

Poisoned by the people counting my time

Stuck in the same place my failures repeated

I’m fighting against the demons I defeated

I can’t find solace it makes me feel worthless

I retreat and withdraw my shortage your surplus

Pushing everything away to maintain distance

The day still bleeds into the night

When I stop feeling like I’m slowly drowning

When it’s done I’ll know I tried

All I do is change but the world stays the same

All I do is change but it stays the same

I keep running, I’m out of breath

But I don’t know what else to do

I keep running towards my death

Chasing myself in a loop

Push me hard enough I may fall

But I’m getting on my feet standing tall

You can own everything but you’ll never own me

There’s something beautiful in pain

Something different less of the same

There’s something beautiful in pain

Something more than just getting through the day

One more- there is nothing you can take away from me

One more- nothing that I’m living without sight unseen

One more, give me all you got

One more, nothing that I’m not
