Terrified to get older, the days disappear Everyone I've ever known's moved on throughout the years The Benson city limits feel like home In an Arizona summer when I'm all alone Terrified to get older, things just aren't the same Denying the harsh truth of the simple and mundane Lies are told through stereo to played out ears Looking for, if anything, a way out of here You can't waste your time on people bringing you down You only have so much time To make your dreams a reality (Repress anxiety of being alone and failing) Hope is told through verse and chorus in my garage While playing guitar, and writing this song Terrified to find whats underneath What's building up inside You can't waste your time on people bringing you down You only have so much time To make your dreams a reality (Repress anxiety of being alone and failing)

I know it's hard to handle Please don't cry for me Don't mourn that I'm gone I'll be just fine I'd rather you just sing Take my clothes, give them to the poor To the kids done the street, give them my old boards These fingers won't play these guitars anymore Don't cry for me, because there is so much more Take my passing as a sign you only live once (You only have one life to live) And we won't know when the time will come When we will be called to pastures more green And the last sight of us has already been seen Take my clothes, give them to the poor To the kids done the street, give them my old boards These fingers won't play these guitars anymore Don't cry for me, because there is so much more

All things considered, despite what I thought This year's been the hardest of my life thus far I've learned not everything will work out in the end Often we spend too much time thinking too far ahead It'll be ok That's what they all say As if they know what lies ahead Believe me when I say that even champions get knocked down (Get knocked down) But they're not down and out for the count (For the count) I don't know if I'll forgive myself For the lies, and the pain, and the suffering That I put you through I know you made me promise not to talk about it, but I had to To get some peace of mind, and get this off my chest To have a clear conscience, and a level head Some clarity would be nice right now Cause it's all I've been thinking about For the last two days, it's all that resonates Between these ears How much I know it broke you How badly that knife stung In your back, or to your face The poison on my tongue The tears roll down your face Like bullets on the floor Like rounds against your heart As your walking out the door Believe me when I say that even champions get knocked down (Get knocked down) But they're not down and out for the count (For the count) I don't know if I'll forgive myself For the lies, and the pain, and the suffering That I put you through I know you made me promise not to talk about it, but I had to To get some peace of mind, and get this off my chest To have a clear conscience, and a level head These growing pains consume me from day to day I'm coming to terms with losing my baby teeth (And for the first time in my entire life I'm accepting I'm losing my baby teeth)

Why do we abandon our convictions In the moments we need them the most With our heads down and our mouths shut We just do as we're told And if our skin is so paper thin Why do we spend our lives Trying to uncover our soul Just keep bending 'til I break (I'm giving in, I'm tapping out) Don't Know how much longer I can deal with living this way (Filled my head with foolish doubt) Giving in this time around, didn't mean to let myself down (Keep bending until I break) I'll just set aside what could have been (I'm giving in, I'm tapping out) Hearing songs about hope Chase your dreams, it's all worth it, ever since I was young I wish I would've believed that they weren't just stories To keep me satisfied Just so I could sleep I night And dream of better things Instead these waking eyes are finding light And facing my reality Just keep bending 'til I break (I'm giving in, I'm tapping out) Don't Know how much longer I can deal with living this way (Filled my head with foolish doubt) Giving in this time around, didn't mean to let myself down (Keep bending until I break) I'll just set aside what could have been (I'm giving in, I'm tapping out) Throwing coins in wells just to believe a wish I want to believe I'm meant for more than this (Throwing coins in wells) A lie I tell myself every single day I bury deep down inside so I can forget the pain (I want to believe) Just keep bending 'til I break (I'm giving in, I'm tapping out) Don't Know how much longer I can deal with living this way (Filled my head with foolish doubt) Giving in this time around, didn't mean to let myself down (Keep bending until I break) I'll just set aside what could have been (I'm giving in, I'm tapping out)
