Track 4 of The Insomniac EP

lyrics

Throw another heads-down penny into the bank
‘Cause it feels like I never get a break
It works out so well for you, but never for me

I trip over sunshine and choke on air
I look up and get blinded by the glare
I want things to change, so I plea

Why do we believe what we’re told
When we’re told that it works?
Why do we do what we do
When all it does is leave us hurt?

So cut my ears one more time
And I’ll have another go
In the end, I’ll be alright
Because the only way to go is up to the top
I’ll see you when I get there
This time, it’s my turn to try my luck

Going left on a right one-way
Getting sick over the holidays
Everyone else has all the luck
When’s it my turn?

Why do things blow up in my face
When I try to fix it?
(Why does my life suck? Can things get any worse??)

So cut my hands one more time
And I’ll have another go
In the end, I’ll be alright
Because the only way to go is up to the top
I’ll see you when I get there
This time, it’s my turn to try my luck

Maybe if I wish for once
Something will go right
I’m looking for that feeling
So I can hold onto it tight

So let the cards read my future
And let the stars read my night
I’ll keep a pinch of salt in my hand
And run from everything in sight

Make a wish, take the leap
Falling into the deep

So cut my ears once again
And I’ll take my chance
If the world should end, then I’ll simply dance my way to the top
This time, it’s my turn to try my luck
