i'm losing my love of adventure
  i'm losing all respect
  for me and myself tonight
  i wonder what happens if i get to
  the end of this tunnel
  and there isn't a light
  ive worn down the treads
  on all of my tires
  i've worn through the elbows
  and the knees of my clothing
  and i'm stumbling down
  the gravel driveway of desire
  trying not to wake up
  my sleepy self-loathing
    do you ever have that dream
  when you open your mouth
  and you try to scream
  but you can't make a sound
  that's everyday starting now
  that's everyday starting now
    dont tell me it's gonna be alright
  you can't sell me on your optimism tonight
  it's a stiff competition
  to see who can stay up later
  the stars or the street lights
  and all they really want
  is to be alone with the darkness
  no more wish i may
  no more wish i might
    it takes a stiff upper lip
  just to hold up my face
  i gotta suck it up and savor
  the taste of my own behavior
  i am spinning with longing
  faster then a roulette wheel
  this is not who i meant to be
  this is not how i meant to feel
    i don't think i am strong enough
  to do this much longer
  god, i wish i was stronger
  this song could never be long enough
  to express every longing
  god, i wish it was longer...
