I don’t want to go out tonight

Find a show on a Saturday night

I’d rather stay here and wait

Sit alone playing video games

I got enough friends

No one else needs to know my name

And yeah I know my face is aging

But it’s okay, yeah, it’s okay

But it’s so cold

Humanity grows old

The man in me soaks up American Blood

And I’m so scared

That all of my worst fears

Have followed me out here, I’m mad at myself

I try to keep my head up, my head up

I try to keep myself from feeling this way

I’m tired and I’m fucked up, in this rest stop

It’s only in my head, but it’s not gonna change

It goes on and on, so electric

Like a full-fledged panic inside

And I know you said, that it’s not my fault

But the truth is just so easy to hide

I gotta keep my head up, my head up

I gotta keep myself from feeling ashamed

I’m tired and I’m fucked up and I can’t stop

It’s only in my head, but it’s not gonna change

Well it burns slow

Somewhere inside and nobody knows that I’m here

Stoned

Drinking alone and out of control

I gotta keep my head up, my head up

I gotta keep myself from feeling ashamed

I’m crying cuz I’m fucked up baby I know that

It’s only in my head, but it’s not gonna change
