lyrics

Don't act surprised I'm not pretending
I'm an irresponsible loaf toasted both sides
I can't seem to find the balance of my spending
I'm a sinking ship trying to patch the water gushing through the hole
But you, you turn me to stone

So I run so far way
But it's not far enough

Completely stressed out my mind
Life always grinding
The dollars are spent while my backs on the scale
I waste all my time hoping so blindly
This is the day when my youth can be lived
The day is my death
Awaiting so patient
I cough up my lungs as my liver turns pale
I find all my peace ruining things
Including my life with a sweet recipe of you

You turn me to stone
So I run so far away
But it's not far enough

I slowed down my rhyme with the passing of time
What I used to be is a memory that's gone
I look at my hands all tattered and damned
What I want to be is a memory that's gone

I've been here to long and it's more than misleading
See all your teeth your smile's deceiving
I don't react, I'm holding back
I bite my tongue because it's not the way

I've been here to long my anxiety is crazy
Searching the world for the soul that you gave me
I don't react, I'm holding back
I bite my tongue because it's not the way

I've been here to long now I'm falling asleep
Making new friends with the shadows and creeps
I don't react, I'm holding back
I bite my tongue because it's not the way

I've been here to long my anxiety is crazy
Searching the world for the soul that you gave me
I don't react, I'm holding back
I bite my tongue because it's not the way

I carry on for some luck if it's true enough
While everyone tells me to shut the fuck up
I won't stop just because they say so
'holding back because it's not the way
I get spit on, misspelled, and cut off
Everyone says I'll never be good enough
There's nothing wrong for believing in the underdog
I bite my tongue because it's not the way
And they wasted it time holding out on the beauty of a simple life
Step out the box just a little while
You're so certain it's not the way
And I wasted time sleeping all day and partying all night
Pissing on my money like it caught on fire
I'm holding back because it's not the way

Our Last Daze image

Our Last Daze San Marcos, Texas

Forged from the burgeoning music scene of Central Texas, Our Last Daze is a dynamic and ever evolving force to be reckoned with. Powerful instrumentation shifting from heavy to poppy to soulful, accompanied by catchy vocal melodies with emotive lyrical themes of the debauchery of youth and the existential dread that follows, Our Last Daze is reminiscent of the mid-2000’s Emo/Pop-Punk scene. ... more
