Mykyl - HOW TO LIVE

Making all the same mistakes that I made when I was sixteen
Now the thought of making money's feeling more like a pipe dream
I take two steps forward and a thousand back
Shouldn't take this long to get my life on track
Yeah I swear this basement's gonna be the death of me
So I cry out with a hollow voice
And I fade into the background noise
Cold and numb
Is this what it feels like
To grow up not knowing how to do anything right
Had big dreams when I was seventeen
But I've tried and tried and tried
And I just don't think I will ever figure out how to live life
How to live life
I remember what you said
Mykyl don't quit your day job
Go to college with a loan
That you're never gonna pay off
I'm running out of feelings and reasons
To get up in the morning, I'm dreaming
But it all turns to nightmares
And I'm scared I might not wake up
Cold and numb
Is this what it feels like
To grow up not knowing how to do anything right
Had big dreams when I was seventeen
But I've tried and tried and tried
And I just don't think I will ever figure out how to live life
How to live life
So I put up my fists
And I put up a fight
Then I broke into tears
Cause you know sometimes
It can hurt so bad to be alive
Had so much to say
But no one to call
So I poured my heart out to my four white walls
Screaming nobody cares at all
Cold and numb
Is this what it feels like
To grow up not knowing how to do anything right
Cold and numb
Is this what it feels like
To grow up not knowing how to do anything right
Had big dreams when I was seventeen
But I've tried and tried and tried
And I just don't think I will ever figure out how to live life
How to live life
