Atlas - Telltale

Change my last name, hope that I can move on

If I ditch that name, still can’t escape the hate I came from

The anxiety and all these feelings that cloud up my mind

And waste all my time

I’ve been living with no progress in my own life

Spent my life searching for a scapegoat

But it was just me in the end

Carrying the happiness of those I love

And my back is giving in

Another late night shift, off at four AM

Passed out on the couch again

I’ll watch the sun rise over the James

And tell myself I’m not as fucked up as my friends

Anxiety ruined my life, be it in my home or my own mind

Can’t clear my head to take it all in

I couldn’t find a single reason

At one point I had a chance

But anger moved in and shook these steady hands

Changed my plans

Put doubt behind every word

Ten years too late so I bite the curb
