ugh, i know

i'm losing my love of adventure
i'm losing all respect for me and myself tonight
i wonder what happens if i get to the end of this tunnel and there isn't a light
i've worn down the treads on all of my tires
i've worn through the elbows and the knees of my clothing
and i'm staring down the gravel driveway of desire
trying not to wake up my sleeping self loathing

do you ever have that dream
when you open your mouth and you try to scream
but you cant make a sound
thats everyday starting now
thats everyday starting now

don't tell me it's gonna be alright
you cant sell me on your optimism tonight
don't tell me it's gonna be alright
you cant sell me on your optimism tonight

it's a stiff competition to see who can stay up later
the stars or the street lights
and all i really want is to be alone with the darkness
no more wish i may
mo more wish i might
it takes a stiff upper lip just to hold up my face
i gotta suck it up and savour the taste of my own behaviour
i am spinning with longing
faster then a roulette wheel
this is not who i meant to be
this is not how i meant to feel

i don't think i am strong enough to do this much longer
god i wish i was stronger
this song can never be long enough to express every longing
god i wish it was longer
i don't think i am strong enough to do this much longer
god i wish i was stronger
this song can never be long enough to express every longing
god i wish i was ....

--ani- wish i may
