Long Time

Same old town
Loose ends surround me
Always drags you down
Don't let it get you down
Same four walls
Don't mean anything to anyone
And all you talk about
Is to see yourself break out.
I've seen you this way before
A life strained but true
What are we waiting for?
It's been a long time nothing new.
Something survived here
You've been working over time
And how's it feel to lie?
It burns on in your mind.
I've seen you this way before
A life strained but true
What are we waiting for?
It's been a long time nothing new.
For a while
We were living
But it's the pace
That'll kill you
It kills you.
I've seen you this way before
A life strained but true
What are we waiting for?
It's been a long time nothing new
A long time nothing new
I'm here
I'm here
Im here.
