[Intro: guardin]
(This shit's a lie, go back inside, yeah
This shit's a lie, go back inside
Cry 'bout the future, she'll leave you behind
I'm staying still while the seasons arrive
This ain't the place for me, why do I try?)
Yeah, yeah

[Chorus: guardin]
This shit's a lie, go back inside
Cry 'bout the future, she'll leave you behind
I'm staying still while the seasons arrive
This ain't the place for me, why do I try?
Get up and drive, go sixty-five
No destination inside of my mind
I've taken pills in the past, I'll be fine
Losing my head just to keep me alive, keep me alive

[Verse 1: guardin]
Yeah, keep me alive
Counting the time on the clock 'til it's five
Minutes until this disaster arrives
Lie down on the floor, you'll be fine
Cold surfaces wake up my eyes
Blindsided by love, bold and bright
My heart's in your hands 'til I die
I'd fly to Japan for the night
If tour didn't have my hands tied
Why did I sign up for this?
Ask yourself the question every time you light the spliff, fuck
Yeah, is there something that I missed?
I can feel their eyes, they're watching me with every line I spit
Yeah, can you back it up a bit?
It's a little hard to breathe when privacy does not exist
Co-dependency is never seen as such a risk
And the artists that we love are trying hard to not get pissed
[Chorus: guardin]
Yeah, this shit's a lie, go back inside
Cry 'bout the future, she'll leave you behind
I'm staying still while the seasons arrive
This ain't the place for me, why do I try?
Get up and drive, go sixty-five
No destination inside of my mind
I've taken pills in the past, I'll be fine
Losing my head just to keep me alive, keep me alive

[Verse 2: Lynn Gunn]
Sometimes I feel like no one's on my side
Walked out the door and I feel paralyzed
Searching for anything, give me a sign
That I'm alive, when we're aligned
Pressure is building, wish we had more time
Give me a second, I'm stuck on a wire
I can hear you praying, "Just stay on the line"
You know that I'll ride, ride 'til I die, yeah
And I can feel the distance, things are feeling different
Whenever I come home
Always with intention, so passive-aggressive
I never do you wrong
If I break in and bend in, you've got my attention
Why's it not enough?
You know I'm good intended, feel like I should mention
[Chorus: guardin & Lynn Gunn]
Yeah, this shit's a lie, go back inside
Cry 'bout the future, she'll leave you behind
I'm staying still while the seasons arrive
This ain't the place for me, why do I try?
Get up and drive, go sixty-five
No destination inside of my mind
I've taken pills in the past, I'll be fine
Losing my head just to keep me alive, keep me alive
This shit's a lie, go back inside
Cry 'bout the future, she'll leave you behind
I'm staying still while the seasons arrive
This ain't the place for me, why do I try?
Get up and drive, go sixty-five
No destination inside of my mind
I've taken pills in the past, I'll be fine
Losing my head just to keep me alive, keep me alive

[Outro: guardin]
These eyes saw a lot of sights
But these guys start a lot of conflict
I'm conflicted how my life just
Breezed by, lost as soon as night hits
These eyes saw a lot of sights
But these guys start a lot of conflict
I'm conflicted how my life just
Breezed by, lost as soon as night hits
