"All I Ever Wanted Was A Chance To Know Myself (Remix)"
(feat. Max Bemis)

There's times of violence and there's times of war
I watch them rerun on the TV
I want a life I can't afford in Soho
I'm done with sleeping
We can't define the world alive, it's over
It's almost over, yeah
And all I ever wanted was a chance to know myself

I need time to look past the view
I stay up with the fog till the feeling's closer
A little dream with a lot to prove
I wake up with my tongue unglued, with my tongue unglued
So what the hell am I supposed to do?
I show up for the night, feel like I'm still sober here
'Cause all I ever wanted was a chance to know myself

I throw my hands up in the air
I don't know what I've become
Got lost along the way
I'm way too tired to run
I'm fighting out here (I'm fighting out here)
I'm fighting out here for life
And I'm way too far (check check check check check)
To be going backwards now

My love was a disease and you never noticed me
On the periphery of what they all need
So now I'm sinking here, I'm grasping for the book, no not the book
They took the big book, the big fucking book
Fill your lungs with drugs if you can handle it
Or you can fuck all night, I know I manage it
Now get your fucking claws off of my cannabis
I gotta hide that from my girl, get your mixers

I throw my hands up in the air
I don't know what I've become
Got lost along the way
I'm way too tired to run
I'm fighting out here
I'm fighting out here for life
And I'm way too far
To be going backwards

But time rolls away
All the mess I've made
We've done terrible things
We've lived terrible ways
It all falls away
'Cause life is changing
I've done terrible things
I've done terrible things

I throw my hands up in the air
I don't know what I've become
Got lost along the way
I'm way too tired to run
I'm fighting out here
I'm fighting out here for life (check check check check check)
And I'm way too far
To be going backwards

I throw my hands up in the air
(Last night I watched)
I don't know what I've become
(As [?])
Got lost along the way
(Why did you [?])
I'm way too tired to run
([?])
I'm fighting out here
(I need to know are you alive and well?)
I'm fighting out here for life
And I'm way too far
To be going backwards now
I'm going backwards now
