lyrics

I lied about my major to a partial stranger and I have no idea why.
Too exhausted through atrophy to break down that routine, but I really got to try.
Relied on simple smarts for way too long
They took me through college and now through this job.
So set the timer for three years tops
But now somehow that’s creeping up on me.

And with this fire burning, in my pocket it keeps burning,
Ain’t no shutting this furnace down.
Because it’s burning in my heart and it’s burning just to start and now it’s burning through this whole town.

So I guess it’s getting better, it must be getting better, must be getting out along my way.
Breaking down old routines, they’re rolling right on through me, hibernating on a hurricane day.
Over and over again, you stomp down the welcome mat.
Over and over again, I check my acknowledgements.

So now it’s painfully clear that I’ve been misled, hoodwinked, done in again.
It’s easy to tell there’s not much care around, but I’m about to throw it back and lay waste to this town.
So don’t you ever fucking think for a second that I’m not one step ahead, swinging for the fences.
Shout it out at the top of my lungs all along that open fishbowl drive home.

And it does enough to cool me down, but not freeze the fire out.
It’s for my sake and mine alone.
Set it clear, but not afraid, no l'esprit de l'escalier, forever til next I’m home.

So I know it’s getting better, "a horse" it’s getting better, now that I’m on my way.
Breaking down old routines, all this fuckshit rolling through me, hibernate for only one more day.
Over and over again, I roll up the welcome mat.
Over and over again, meaningless acknowledgements.

Over and over again, louder and in the clear
Over and over again and again and I will make it through this year

I am gonna make it through this year if it kills me.
