Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Waking up too early, static on the TV
Dressed in all the clothes I had on
When yesterday decided
I didn't need to fight with the hours and the seconds no more
[PreChorus]
Doing all the things that I'm supposed to
Working every day the way that most do
Smiling while I'm hiding what I'm going through
But you know, you know, you know
[Chorus]
That if I'm being honest
I couldn't tell you this is all I wanted
I struggle sleeping 'cause the house feels haunted
Filled with the shadows of regret
And the things I should've said
To the ones I laid to rest
And lately, I'm terrified that all my youth is fading
Man, growing old is so excruciating
Is there a cure for minds unwell?
'Cause my head's a living hell
If I'm honest with myself
[Verse 2]
Stumble as I'm leaving, one foot takes the lead and
Second seems to struggle to find
A solitary reason to continue seeking
Any use in walking this line
[PreChorus]
Doing all the things that I'm supposed to
Working every day the way that most do
Smiling while I'm hiding what I'm going through
But you know, you know, you know
[Chorus]
That if I'm being honest
I couldn't tell you this is all I wanted
I struggle sleeping 'cause the house feels haunted
Filled with the shadows of regret
And the things I should've said
To the ones I laid to rest
And lately, I'm terrified that all my youth is fading
Man, growing old is so excruciating
Is there a cure for minds unwell?
'Cause my head's a living hell
If I'm honest with myself
[Bridge]
So how am I supposed to see an end
To my all-consuming constant fear and dread
When I can't even seem to make it out of bed?
[Chorus]
Yeah, if I'm being honest
I couldn't tell you this is all I wanted
I struggle sleeping 'cause the house feels haunted
Filled with the shadows of regret
And the things I should've said
To the ones I laid to rest
And lately, I'm terrified that all my youth is fading
Man, growing old is so excruciating
Is there a cure for minds unwell?
'Cause my head's a living hell
If I'm honest with myself
