Last Ditch Denial

[Verse 1]
I've been wearing myself so thin
That you can almost see right through me
Yeah my stomach is sick from the constant mix
Of all the alcohol and coffee

But it’s the only way I know (Woah oh!)
To keep an arm’s length from my ghosts (Woah oh oh oh oh!)
My head is spinning around and around
Where it stops nobody knows

[Pre-Chorus 1]
All my lucky breaks are running low
I want you to know

[Chorus]
It’s been a long time
Since I could look at the world and fake a smile
Yeah It’s been a while
(It’s been a while)
And this is my last ditch denial
It’s been a long time
Since I could look at my face and count the miles
Yeah It’s been a while
(It’s been a while)
And this is my last ditch denial

[Verse 2]
And every day is a whole new way
To second guess my own conclusions
With my tongue in a knot, I can't struggle with thoughts
Of if I can or can not do this

But it’s a line I’ve fought and sold (Woah oh!)
My new ideas are getting old (Woah oh oh oh oh!)
Now I’m turning them upside down
For the best or so I’m told

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I’ve got my second chances down to one
Now I’m done

[Chorus]
It’s been a long time
Since I could look at the world and fake a smile
Yeah It’s been a while
(It’s been a while)
And this is my last ditch denial
It’s been a long time
Since I could look at my face and count the miles
Yeah It’s been a while
(It’s been a while)
And this is my last ditch denial
My last ditch denial

[Bridge]
I think I’m ready to do this
I’m ready for what comes next
The prose, the pain, the politics
And on and on and all of it
I think I’m ready to do this (Woah!)
I’m ready for what comes next (Woah oh oh!)
The prose, the pain, the politics
And on and on and all of it
I think I’m ready to do this (Woah!)
I’m ready for what comes next (Woah oh oh!)
The prose, the pain, the politics
And on and on and on and on!
(And on and on!)

[Chorus]
It’s been a long time
Since I could look at the world and fake a smile
Yeah It’s been a while
(It’s been a while)
And this is my last ditch denial
It’s been a long time
Since I could look at my face and count the miles
Yeah It’s been a while
(It’s been a while)
And this is my last ditch denial
My last ditch denial!
