Verse 1
So I t
ook my medication and I po
ured my trauma out
On some s
ad-eyed middle aged man's over-priced new leather couch
And we a
rgued about Jesus, finally fo
und some middle ground
I said I
'm cured
Verse 2
And I've d
ivvied up my anger into t
hirty separate parts
Keep the b
ad shit in my liver and the rest around my heart
I'm still a
ngry at my parents for what th
eir parents did to them
But it's a s
tart
Pre-Chorus
But I ignore t
hings and I move si
deways
Till I f
orget what I felt in the first pl
ace
At the end of the d
ay I know there are wo
rse ways to stay alive
Chorus
'Cause everyone's g
rowing
And everyone's h
ealthy

d that I might never have met
me
Oh, if my en
gine works perfect on em

I guess I'll dr

I guess I'll dr

Verse 3
So I forg

Fell i

Spent my s

ot a place to be
Keeps rushing
