lyrics

When everyone is better than me,
and I fear they’ve always been.
And how is it I envy what I don’t even want?
But it’s this voice that carries me through,
when I fear I’m dried up at 24
and there’s so much more
Creations surround me, and I wish I could cry,
But I’m holding out to please.
I’m holding out to find something good,
or something fine.
It’s sleepless nights and dreams that just won’t quit,
the just won’t quit.
And I’m done touring hospitals, looking for my own.
Yes, great depressions surround me,
but my wounds are my own.
