about

First true story song eva.

lyrics

I'm full of cliches, but I have nothing too insightful to say.
My words are full of nothingness,
my thoughts a little thoughtless.
I feel defeated, nothing more.
An emotion that tends to lure me down
and hold me up
so I can't make a sound.

When this is true to you, you'll understand
how the world is pulling at my feet.
This means so much to me that I can't stop
running in circles even when my soles burn out.
I'm like a hostage held at gunpoint
by a neon orange weapon
filled with water that only hurts my pride.

This isn't the way that it was always supposed to be.
What happened to the glory days and happy endings?
I can yell about these things I've believed my whole life,
but this isn't real and I can't feel anymore.

It hit me while I was in the back seat
like the knockout punch in round three,
and I can't believe I lasted this long.
It took me out on the ride home
that I don't have to be alone.
I can't believe I let those feelings own me.
I might just be a messed up kid
drowning in down feelings,
but it helps to know that I'm not alone.
When this subsides and my friendships rise,
I'll be shouting out my window,
"You can burn my white flag for it will never be flown."
