lyrics

I have standards, I keep holding
I am grasping and clutching and crawling
And slipping and falling
I am stranded, I am all alone
On an island, and I’m facing the wrong way
It’s been such a long day

I sold my clothes for the lowest bid
And burned my books into the wind
But what’s it for? What’s it worth?
Send it back into the Earth

I have standards, I am seeking
I am searching trying to find a new way
I know that I can’t stay
I am stuck here, I’m not getting out
I am drowning and it’s happening every day
I keep fighting anyway

I am holding out, I’m told that it’s hopeless
And there’s something wrong here
And this shit is endless
I’m giving up and denying everything
There’s nothing wrong here
No reason to mention it
It’s so hard to believe when it’s dead around me x3, I’m afraid
