lyrics

I tie my shoes,
Listen to the morning news
Wonder if I’m gonna win, or lose, or drown today.
The bills are stacked
Feels like I could have a heart attack.
How am I ever gonna pull this back together?

Look at him
He’s living out his
every dream
He’s peaceful like a flowing stream in the morning.
He’s got it all worked out
Makes me wonder what it’s all about.
Am I ever gonna stand up proud and tall again?

CHORUS
How’d it ever come to this?
Every dream’s a counterfeit
Every singe swing’s a miss and I cant look me in the eye.
I’m falling like a cannonball
I’m gonna lose it all.
I keep staring at the ground when the writing’s on the wall.
Hmm.

God made man,
Oh what an evil plan.
Made me a player in a game that’s damned to failure.
So I close my eyes,
Try to escape the noise
Try to think about a better life worth chasing.

How’d it ever come to this?
Every dream’s a counterfeit
Every singe swing’s a miss and I cant look me in the eye.
I’m falling like a cannonball
I’m gonna lose it all.
I keep staring at the ground when the writing’s on the wall.
Hmm.

I tie my shoes,
Listen to the morning news
Wonder if I’m gonna win, or lose, or drown today.
