lyrics

Some days I don’t even
know if the wind blows
because I don’t make it outside
I lie on the futon
sleep with the TV on
and wait for a reason to rise
Springer’s on TV
beer cans form an army
Invading my table each day
probably should’ve bought food
not these beers Ribbon Blue
but now I’ve got no money to pay

I’ve got no one to blame
but myself and my brain
about loosing my job
it’s my fault
it’s my fault
wasting away
until I change my ways
and I put on good shoes and clean up

There’s a dead mouse on the floor
and bug traps in the drawers
while dishes climb out of the sink
I’m putting my life on hold
never felt so old
and I just need more time to think
I’m dealing with writer’s block
all out of clean socks
and apathy’s slowly set in
out the window my view
is as bleak as the news
guess it’s more than just me that don’t win

I’ve got no one to blame
but myself and my brain
about loosing my job
it’s my fault
it’s my fault
wasting away
until I change my ways
and I put on good shoes and clean up

I know, I do know
either way the wind blows
that this ain’t sustainable stuff
But it’s been built in me
when faced with adversity
often I’m stuck in the rough
Things won’t get better
no matter the weather
unless I’m the one who improves
so I’ll get my suit dry-cleaned
look life in the high beams
succeed or be crushed by the truth

I’ve got no one to blame
but myself and my brain
about loosing my job
it’s my fault
it’s my fault
wasting away
until I change my ways
and I put on good shoes and clean up
