[Verse 1]

Our concentration, it contains a deadly flaw

Our conversations change from words to "Blah, blah, blah"

We took prescription drugs, but look how much good that did

Well, I think I had a point, but I just got distracted

'Cause lately it just seems to me

Like we've got the letters A.D.D

Branded into our mentality

We simply can't focus on anything


[Pre-Chorus]

Because it's 17, 18, 19 routine

And here at 23, it's the same old me

And the one thing in the moment that we all happen to like

Will only very temporarily, kinda break the cycle

Of the double-edged sword

Of being lazy and being bored

We just want more, and more, and more

Until it's all we can afford


[Chorus]

To keep our eyes open for just one more day

To keep on hoping that we'll stumble on our way

To keep our minds open for just one more day

'Cause it's completely up to us

To maintain consciousness


[Bridge]

No one can possibly listen to this

More than 4 reps is just monotonous

We're losing interest

Losing interest

Losing interest


[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause it's 17, 18, 19 routine

And here at 23, it's the same old me

And the one thing in the moment that we all happen to like

Will only very temporarily, kinda break the cycle

Of the double-edged sword

Of being lazy and being bored

We just want more, and more, and more

Until it's all we can afford


[Chorus]

To keep our eyes open for just one more day

To keep on hoping that we'll stumble on our way

To keep our minds open for just one more day

'Cause it's completely up to us

To maintain consciousness

Keep our eyes open for just one more day

To keep on hoping that we'll stumble on our way

To keep our minds open for just one more day

'Cause it's completely up to us

To maintain consciousness
