The Fine Line Of a Quiet Life

I would've thought by now I’d be overgrown
And at the station waiting, I should have known
Just how much life was inside of me
Cut down a branch of my family tree
You find it hard to see that the future’s bright
Cause you just sleep all day and stay up all night
Be safe, be brave, be whatever you like
Just don’t involve me cause

I don’t wanna do it again
I'm getting tired and old
I only wanted a friend
Someone to do as they’re told
I started falling apart
As I was ready to go

I see a glass half-full and you say you don’t
I know you say you will, but I know you won’t
Your teeth dug in and they won’t let go
You try your best but it just don’t show
And when the road is closed and you’re walking home
Could it be time to call it and just go home
To your fine line of a quiet life?
Acquired by knowing that

I don’t wanna do it again
I'm getting tired and old
I only wanted a friend
I’ll do whatever I'm told
I started falling apart
As I was ready to go

When everything beside you
Comes crashing down I’ll find you
And while I sleep I see you
And what it’s like to be you
Take care and don’t be fearful
There’s no undoing evil
It’s all a bunch of lies anyway
So why bother?
Why waste your time?
