[Verse 1]
I'd be stupid to give up
That's what I said back then
But I'm near a decade older and I'm still wondering when
I got the truth inside my holster
My fantasy in my crosshairs
A Russian roulette bullet-pointed existential nightmare
[Pre-Chorus]
I owe it to myself and everyone I love
Is this enough? Is this enough?
I owe it to myself and everyone I love
Is this enough?
[Chorus]
I lust to wander, an extra in sonder
A lantern without kerosene
Broken, not burnt out, I'm still stuck in somеhow
A victim of self-parody
So come save mе
[Verse 2]
I guess you didn't seem to notice but everybody ends up all the same
Dying slowly
But not as fast as I like
Another windy city midnight
A dead man's brigade
With thoughts going off like a hand grenade
I could've had anything I ever wanted
Four years and a shovel for their profits
Buried under doubt with a broken conscience
Headstone reads "Tread lightly"
(Tread lightly)
[Chorus]
I lust to wander, an extra in sonder
A lantern without kerosene
Broken, not burnt out, I'm still stuck in somehow
A victim of self-parody
So come save me
[Bridge]
I'm in too deep, I'm stuck in a rut
I've been dangerously out of touch
I'm a melancholy complacent
With all my answers adjacent
I'm a passenger in my own skin
So come save me
[Outro]
I could've had anything I ever wanted
Four years and a shovel for their profits
Buried under doubt with a broken conscience
Headstone reads "Tread lightly"
I could've had anything I ever wanted
Four years and a shovel for their profits
Buried under doubt with a broken conscience
Headstone reads "Tread lightly"
