“Count the Days” describes the feeling of hopelessness and emptiness that can appear due to depression, stress and always being in the spotlight. It expresses a sense of being inadequate and absent in one’s life, consequently influencing people around you negatively without the intent of doing so.

[Verse 1]
It's the best I can, it’s my highest low
It's a waste of time but I can't let go
I am ashamed to say, but it seems to be
I’ve become my own worst enemy
In a world on fire, I'm safe at home
I live in denial but the pressure's on
And I justify it with the sleepless nights
[Verse 2]
I guess I don't care about my life here
About what I've done, when I'm dead and gone
I dream the dreams that I've dreamt before
But don't belive them anymore
So follow me and sell my songs
’Cause I wait around for what never comes
And there’s my life 'til I die alone
[Chorus]
Wish I could feel more like home
I count the days, it’s not enough
Got no time to be good enough
Everybody seems to be
On their way to a holiday
I just ain't, no time for fun
Hopeless wishes, nothing done
Count the days and I'll be gone
Wish I could feel more like home
[Verse 3]
But sometimes I quit to lay down my whip
Try to come to sense, give myself a chance
But I run from me with no place to hide
Was born to be unsatisfied
So shut your heart when you come near
'Cause I’m close enough but I'm never there
And there's my life 'til I die alone
[Chorus]
Wish I could feel more like home
I count the days, it's not enough
Got no time to be good enough
Everybody seems to be
On their way to a holiday
I just ain't, no time for fun
Hopeless wishes, nothing done
I count the days 'til I'll be gone
Wish I could feel more like home
[Chorus]
I count the days, it's not enough
Got no time to be good enough
Everybody seems to be
On their way to a holiday
I just ain't, no time for fun
Hopeless wishes, nothing done
Count the days and I'll be gone
Wish I could feel more like home
