A Day At The Fair Stagnation Vs. Shame And Despair
[Verse 1]
These days what I have left is all I know will last
I freehand write with a wooden match
On a looseleaf soaked in gas
I pray someday I'll find a God
Who will help me pray to someone
Who believes in something more
Than just the thought of gaining something
And I've grown ashamed of that person I've become
So sick of trying to impress you
Forgot who I was
I'm a mess and I'm a mark, loner and a flake
I give more than you give me
And you take more than I make
But my ego fights the fact of how things really are
[Chorus]
And I asked myself last night
When's the last time you felt anything?
I'm unimpressed and uninspired
It's a shame how we remember things
It's a shame how we forget
[Verse 2]
Made a mockery of failures 'til we met on solid ground
I paved the road that led to nothing that I followed back to town
I begged the twenty-year-old inside me to grow up and remind me
Take a mulligan and leave these f..cking past ten years behind me
'Cause growing up means nothing more than burning what you've loved
To little glowing embers of all that you've become
I am the house, I am the flame
The arsonist you blame
The one who stood in ashes when the world around me changed
But every man will battle with that question
Is this it?
[Chorus]
And I asked myself last night
When's the last time you felt anything?
I'm unimpressed and uninspired
It's a shame how we remember things
It's a shame how we forget
[Bridge]
When the storm's coming in
Will you remember me back when
I brought you an umbrella and stood in the rain?
Guess some things never change
I guess some things never change
[Chorus]
And I asked myself last night
When's the last time you felt anything?
I'm unimpressed and uninspired
It's a shame how we remember things
What a shame how we forget
