Listen free here.

Undone by my own design
Yeah snow-blind to every sign
Same old brand of sabotage
Caught up in the same mirage
Keeping one foot out the door
Like this time and the time before
I’ll be shrinking away like the waning moon
Then I’ll wax poetic when I hear the tune
Should I flip the script should I just skip town
What am i supposed to do when it all goes down
Not quite what you need but you keep me around
What am i supposed to do when it all goes down

Cant catch a break
Can’t even think
Cuz my mind is racing
I’m on the brink
Didn’t want her here
Didn’t want her gone
Like a riptide is pulling me
Into a song

Just cant get my head on straight
My brain just wont accommodate
Some things never reach my heart
But I knew that from the very start
Should I flip the script should I just skip town
What am i supposed to do when it all goes down

This makes me wanna drink
Wishing things could be just fine another place another time
Maybe I should just fess up
Knowing things will be alright
another place another time
