In isolation
I learned alot about my state of mind
The realization
That I’m never really quite as fine
As I thought I was
​
I apologize I’m not that kind of guy
I’m agitated and I’m ready for a fight
The grass is greener
But I’m stuck here on the other side
​
Don’t feed me a line
When I’m ready I’ll decide
To try
​
This situation
Has meant a fair amount of compromise
The concentration
Required to simply even sympathize
Blows my mind
​
I’m so sorry that I’ve gotten out of line
I’m exhausted and I’m itching for a fight
I’m not sleeping, i can barely close my eyes
It doesnt matter why
When I’m ready i’ll decide
to try
​
Not looking for a good time
Stop asking me if I'm alright
I walking on a high-wire
I’m tryin’ to make it out alive
When did this become my life?
​
I apologize I’m not that kind of guy
I’m agitated but I couldn’t tell you why
I’m on the backside
Of the middle of my prime
Guess I’ll say goodbye
It’s about time I decide to try
It's about the time I try
Gotta get outside my mind
I'll try
