lyrics

"What are you doing?" is a question that I ask myself often now
Wasing away all the time I'm given I beat myself down
Mapping routes, act it's figured all out
Take a seat, what's that difference in one week?

Why do I feel so tired?
When all I do is sit on the sidelines
I've got it all, what everyone wants
but I'm messed up and can't read the road signs

"What are you doing?" is a question that I ask myself often now
Spending my nights, wishing that I was someone else
Speaking words that I'm not proud of
Spinning lies, acting parts I made up

Why do I feel so tired?
When all I do is sit on the sidelines
I've got it all, what everyone wants
but I'm messed up and can't read the road signs

I bury my head in my sheets
To escape from my insecurity
Quarter life, though that crisis was a lie
But these future plans are making battle signs x2

"What are you doing?" is a question that I ask myself often now
Wasing away all the time I'm given I beat myself down

Why do I feel so tired?
When all I do is sit on the sidelines
I've got it all, what everyone wants
but I'm messed up and can't read the road signs
So I lay down and close my eyes
And attempt to compose what's in my mind
It all feels empty, I'm a ship with no sea
Is there anyone giving out clarity?
