Midwest Island

Whenever I try it feels like, the day is burning away
Peeling back my skin wanting to give in
Wanting to take this road straight back to nowhere again

Did you ever know I waited my whole life
Will you help my burn these street signs?
Waiting for a sunny Summer day

Did you ever know I held it all inside
It's pointless acting like you could understand
I'm doing the best I can to not give in

On this midwest island is a shipwreck
Where the walls have closed us in
Feeling like I can't wait to drive away from here

I feel like choking hands (of fear)
As they grab my neck (im scared)
But I'm not prepared to give up everything
You're taking my breath from me
You're asking too much from me
