How to Screw Up Your Future and Disappoint Your Loved Ones

[Verse 1: Christian Fisher]

I’ve been grindin’ my teeth in my sleep and

Each night I try to count all the wolves in sheep’s skin

But there’s just too many and

No matter what I do

It’s clear to me I’m born to lose

I’d complain but who would listen?

It doesn’t make a bit of difference

[Pre-Chorus: Christian Fisher]

So here’s to all the years I’ve wasted

I never thought I could become this jaded

[Chorus 1: Christian Fisher & Ricky Uhlenbrock]

I’m givin’ up, given everything I’ve ever done has gone so wrong and

I gave it all, gave it everything I’ve got

But I guess that wasn’t enough

I’m letting go, letting all that I’ve been working for slip through my fingers but

I’ve gotta say, I’ve gotten used to feeling useless

Will I ever gather the strength to get through this?

[Verse 2: Christian Fisher & Ricky Uhlenbrock]

I’ve been asleep at the wheel for the past three years

And it’s too late to wake up

I never thought I’d live to see

My best laid plans crumble right in front of me

Is it my destiny to fail?

I’ve been at this for years and to no avail

The universe has spoken and it won’t rest ‘til my spirit’s broken

[Pre-Chorus: Christian Fisher]

So here’s to all the years I’ve wasted

I never thought I could become this jaded

[Chorus 2: Christian Fisher & Ricky Uhlenbrock]

I’m givin’ up, given everything I’ve ever done has gone so wrong and

I gave it all, gave it everything I’ve got

But I guess that wasn’t enough

I’m letting go, letting all that I’ve been working for slip through my fingers but

I’ve gotta say, I’ve gotten used to feeling useless

Will I ever gather the strength to get through this?

Or will I fall?

[Instrumental break]

[Bridge: Ricky Uhlenbrock]

I never thought that I could feel so useless

[Outro]

Will I ever find my place in this world?

Will I ever gather the strength to move on?

(When will I know?)

(I’m givin’ up, I’ve given up everything)

(I’m letting go, I let it go too far)
