[Verse 1]
Time cannot move slower
In the place where I grew up
A city and it's people
Seeking comfort in their cups
And it isn't my business
But I can't shake the feeling
They're lying to themselves
Pay for the privilege of dying
Just like everybody else
[Verse 2]
This woman said she's from New Jersey
Sick from opiates and gin
Her hair tied around her rosary
Seeking refuge from her sins
And she says I should help her
With a little loose change
And by lending her my phone
But God damn if she doesn't remind me
The air is toxic back at home
[Verse 3]
So, take a minute
Are your plans still working?
Would you tell me if it all was worth it?
Are you where you want to go?
Well-adjusted?
In control of your feelings at this time?
Still searching
For the things that make your heart stop hurting
Seeking comfort for your soul
Abandon all control
You're still a ways off
You're still a ways off
