lyrics

I'm tired of overthinking things that make no difference.
But if I stop I'll starve from emptiness.
Is this the end or is this the beginning?
I jump, breathe, see back where I used to be.
I don't be seen back where I used to be.
Cracks mould into that.
It takes me back from where I was used to.
This is me I'm broke.
Cracks mould into that.
It takes me back from where I was used to.
So why can't I sleep.
As far as my feeling go I'd rather be sad than a father of four. I
filled my shoes with bricks and rocks and threw myself off of this bridge. But nobody found me. I guess they stopped trying.
I filled my shoes with bricks and rocks and threw myself into this river.
But nobody found me. I guess they stopped trying.
