The Ballad of Denial (Demo)

Sitting around removed from every single thing Close my eyes and I wonder When's this gonna change I've only got 24 frames My dad's as lifeless as me But I work hard to get there Even though happiness is free I don't need it to breathe I wonder how it is, not how it'll be Living in my head I can't see what's in front of me But the future's so clear and clean All I wanted was to find a better way That's not true I'm lying To you and me again today I'm three sheets to the wind looking for a fight And I don't even have a reason to drink tonight Just don't give me a light It's the ballad of denial that's sung to me By a voice so familiar With a melody so sweet I learned the words so easily The magic eight ball keeps returning to my court I keep sending it back I don't know what I'm waiting for Haven't heard a single knock on the door I'm 85 this time next week Still waiting to see The change of which I speak I'm three sheets to the wind before noon today And if you ask me how I'm doing You know I'll say I'm okay Did I lose it all in a day?
