Ups And Downs Lyrics

How did I wind up in this predicament,
feel like all my bones and ligaments,
are broken and ripped to shreds,
and all the shit inside my head has me,
cold and alone, it's not the first time I've felt far,
I've felt far from home, and these shoes,
maybe they'll finally take me somewhere new,
miles away from anything that's been bringing me down

I've seen these ups and downs,
and how I've really grown to hate this town,
flat on my back cause there's a kink in my neck,
from the way that I slept,
it's been a long one, these ups and downs

This road will leave you stranded if you let it,
you'll get lost inside the genetics of poetics,
wondering when and where, exactly how you said it,
you'll become so cold and numb and infected,
this road wasn't intended for a passerby,
so if you intend on veering, let it pass you by

I've given everything, tossed and turned every dream,
dragged myself through misery, maybe this will save them,
and I desperately hope, these words keep you afloat,
because I'm drifting, and this life is all I know
