I'm burning holes in the fabric The last reminder of a broken bad habit While poring over a self-help book that says "You don't know what you've got while you have it" So are you willing and able To sell your youth for a seat at the table? There's a lifetime of traffic that you can trade for an out So you're unjustified in feeling ungrateful And now you're fucking up the words to the chorus And you'll be coming up for air when you're done And I finally realize that I'm not cut out for this So take back to the start So I've been taking cold showers when I get home at night Cause I just want to feel power over one thing in my life And I've been digging my nails into the seams of my clothes Impulsive reaction, you know how it goes Tighten my muscles, straighten my spine Master my body and maybe master my mind (You've got a lot to learn before you figure it out, but we could meet halfway and maybe even it out) And now I'm fucking up the words to the chorus And I'll be coming up for air when I'm done And I finally realize that I'm not cut out for this So take me back to the start Where you can call it a good thing, call it a draw Call it by name, cause you're still staring in awe At the sight of a scarecrow, split at the seams Grasping for words, you'll understand what you mean When you say "out with the old guard, and in with your friends" It's the way that it goes, it's a means to an end Taking my sweet time, I'll stare at the sun And I'll let the water run, I'll let the water run I'll let the water run, I'll let the water run I'll let the water run, I'll let the water run
