lyrics

It's hard to wake up
Dreams are the one thing I can afford
I've had to pay up
Nothing's free in this world

No time for moping
No time for anything but driving home
Just glad you're coping
This window's closing
So claustrophobic
Stand up, the ceiling is closing in
So scared, I know it:
This window's closing

Carry every failure on your shoulders
Chips turn to bricks turn into boulders
It's hard to wake up
Dreams cost me more than I can afford
You help me pay up
Deficit I can't make up
Most days it's painless
Sometimes I can't keep it to myself
You should be sainted
Such effort wasted

Carry every failure on your shoulders
Chips turn to bricks turn into boulders
Never moving up, just getting older
Chips turn into bricks turn into boulders

Can a man be more than just the sum
(Play the jukebox, four more chances)
of the things he's overcome?
(We're not scared to be the last ones dancing)
Drag yourself above the dissonance
Raise your voice if no one's listening
You win by still existing

Nothing's free in this world
So drive home and shake it off
Don't give up your day job

Lock up your teeth
(Play the jukebox four more chances)
Grind in your sleep
(We're not scared to be the last ones dancing)
Go nowhere
(This treadmill climb goes nowhere)

Goes nowhere, goes nowhere
(This treadmill climb goes nowhere)
Just trapdoors, changing stairs
(This treadmill climb goes nowhere)
Goes nowhere, goes nowhere

Carry every failure on your shoulders
Chips turn into bricks turn into boulders
Never have enough, this isn't over
Chips don't hurt for shit when you're moving boulders
