Bounce for an Ounce Lyrics

Painting pictures with my honeymoon memories

Out on the lawn dodging sprinklers in the evening

I am a product of my own worst habits

I appreciate the thought

But I know when I can't have it

I'm getting tired of sleeping on airplanes

I'm getting tired of pretending that I'm okay

Whatever happened to street light timers?

Whatever happened to never feeling tired?

Decompress or decompose—

Lacking composure is all that I know

Whatever happened to the classrooms and chasing dreams?

Whatever happened to the person that I want to be?

I am a product of my own worst habits

A fucking failure—at best I'm out of balance

Always lost without a cause

Dreaming in gold but I'm made out of bronze

Something's gotta give I feel it closing in

But then again my father's shadows living in my skin

A half-lit prophet on the edge of feeling something real

lost between the broken fragments that I can't reveal

When did the lights turn off at my grandparent's house?

Home from school I'd run down and shout

Wait on the porch while the door slowly opened

Now those days are gone and the windows are broken

Decompress or decompose—

Lacking composure is all that I know

Whatever happened to the classrooms and chasing dreams?

Whatever happened to the person that I want to be?

I am a product of my own worst habits

A fucking failure—at best I'm out of balance

Always lost without a cause

Dreaming in gold but I'm made out of bronze

I swear this year won't be the end of me

But I'm my own fucking enemy

I swear this year won't be the end of me

Broken bones are still weighing me down

I swear this year won't be the end of me

But I'm my own fucking enemy

I swear this year won't be the end of me

Broken bones are still weighing me down

Decompress or decompose—

Lacking composure is all that I know

Whatever happened to the classrooms and chasing dreams?

Whatever happened to the person that I want to be?

I am a product of my own worst habits

A fucking failure—at best I'm out of balance

Always lost without a cause

Dreaming in gold but I'm made out of bronze
