Self Helpless Lyrics

In the time it took to pack and leave he could
Have come to terms with his disease but he filled his house with gasoline
And held the match for everyone to see he cried out to the gathered crowd
Look at what you've done i hope you're proud you have made a fool of me
When all i've ever tried to do is please all of and never me

Time it moves so slow, we're growing old
But are we really growing up
Things we can't let go wrap around our throats
Until there's nothing left to do but choke

He thought he found the perfect place a little town to bury his mistakes
But when he finally settled in the songs about his life began to spin
As he heard the broken verse the truth about himself came out and burned
His panicked heart's a starting gun, he hears the beat and feels the need to run
To anywhere to anyone

Time it moves so slow when you're futures unknown
When what you want is what you had
Friends they come and go but you're always alone
After all that is what you're owed

My friend don't you know you're making it harder now
Than it needs to be just settle down
As you lie in your bed and try an relax
With you favorite dream it will work out
And your family is there we all got your back
And they all look so pleased just try and relax
