lyrics

These are my notes
Scratched into concrete
In faded white chalk outlines
This is the mess that I found in my head
Well I’m finally cleaning up and discovering where I’ve been
I always blackout without even knowing at all
My mind has turned to autopilot for its own comfort

I put headphones in to block out the world
Beats don’t seem to cut it anymore
I guess I need to face the facts that everyone’s leaving me behind
The clock keeps spinning round even after the Mayans time
I have no direction but so many places to go
I’m finally cleaning up and dealing with my old ways

I’m breaking down the clock won’t get the best of me
I’m in it now, to finish everything I started
The clock strikes 12, wipe the slate clean
It’s the best time to change rearrange

Lets light the sky on fire
With majorities of empty words that I don’t have the strength to say
Well whatever happens in the end won’t change a thing
I’ll believe this year gets better by the end of spring

I’m told the night is darkest just before the day
Well I’m no science major but the concept seems a bit cliche
If everything went according to plan
I wouldn’t find myself spiraling over and over again
I have no problem saying how I feel
I’m just a scratched up record you could throw me away but im too

Sentimental, the times won’t get the best of me
I’m in it now, to finish everything I started
The clock strikes 12, wipe the slate clean
It’s the best time to change rearrange

What have we left to show
Is this just another year to come and go
Second chances don’t always come around
Stay resolute to the words you bound
