Debts, Doubts, Discouragement

On Give Up

I reach for my car keys before my apartment keys

I think it’s my conscience telling me subconsciously to leave

I've been sleeping on a sofa I inherited from my parents

And I’m embarrassed to even admit how many nights I haven’t slept

I’m inept and this degree ain’t getting me anywhere

But more in debt, in doubt, in crippling despair

Woooooah (X6)

I wish I was rich enough to have an addiction

But I can’t afford nicotine, I’m in while all my friends are having fun

I’ve been waking up with bedbug bites and I can’t afford to fix it

And every paycheque is getting spent on minimum payments on my debt

And then my rent, and I’m broke again and I’m trying not to let on

That ever since I left home it’s all been going wrong

My dreams are keeping me up at night

Red eyes to the ceiling ‘til my alarm beckons in the sunlight

Since the day I escaped, I’ve dreamed of being free

Sometimes it feels like the motions are going through me, yeah

Oooooooh (X6)

Debts, doubts, discouragement

From folks I love and trust and my pessimistic conscience

All my accomplishments

Were so long ago I wonder if they ever happened

Debts, doubts, discouragement

From folks I love and trust and my pessimistic conscience

Nostalgic for imprisonment

Living just to wake up until the day I don’t

Woooooah (X10)

I reach for my car keys before my apartment keys

I think it’s my conscience telling me subconsciously

To leave
