Demise

Dying would be easier than stepping up to the plate

Said I'm comfortable with my demise
One day it's bound to come
It will claim everyone
Sooner or later
My discomfort comes from daily life
Trying to live it right
Avoiding fly-by-knights
In rusty armor

When does this madness end?
The suspense is teasing me
It's no fun when all the pressure's on you
Happy when things begin
To look for appeasing when
You don't do what you say you're gonna

Dying would be easier than stepping up to the plate
Dying would be easier than stepping up to the plate

Said all I wanna do is love
But I can't seem to step it up
Overwhelmed by the rush
No bones about it
Reckless melancholy is my crutch
But no one gives a fuck (uh-uh)
You got to rise above
With or without it

Ain't trying to lose or win
I just wanna pay my rent
Trying hard to maintain this stasis
No dough for me to spend
Though I got so many friends
Always talkin' 'bout I'm gonna make it

Dying would be easier than stepping up to the plate
Dying would be easier than stepping up to the plate

All this cool chaos
Ain't the world for me
I fly through the skies
And feel so at peace

Through with the false notions and beliefs
Spiraling me down to worlds so obscene, yeah
What's my next life
Was I supposed to speak
I'm running out of time for making space to me, yeah
Ohhhhhhhhh
Making space to me, oh

Feel it, feel like I wanna, feel like I gotta
Do what I gotta do, gotta do, yes I'm stepping out of view
Gotta keep it up, beat it up, gotta move there to the place
Gonna be there, stepping up, so I should give a damn
To the place, so hard to get there

Fear shows me a place like my own if I so desire
Walking through this madness, headed home and stepping up to the plate
