Gray Fox - Morning Person

Woke up this morning feel like, real shitty
Three years later still a stranger to this city
'Cause I've been working that eight to five
But it's more like eight until I lose my mind
And it won't be the first time but I have realized
Things could be so much worse, and I've still got
My friends and my family, the source of my sanity
I'm poker facing with these cards that life handed me
Some days I barely make it
I feel the rays of the sun but I never face them
Stuck in my head is where I feel complacent
Next to myself is where I stand, adjacent
Terrified to think about what comes next
And when I reach that point that I've got none left
I understand that this is all a part of the breath
But I'm a morning person trying to see the beauty in the sunset

I told myself that I would take my time
But how much longer 'til I'm free outside?
I can barely tell the day from night
Will I be alright? I never feel alright
I always feel like I'm about to break
And all my friends are so far away
We left our home in the ground we laid
Remember us saying we would always stay?

It still blows my mind
How fast it all came when we took our flight
Like Eagles leaving the nest
Keeping all our pieces strung up inside of our chests
But I think that's what's killing me the most
Dealing with the distance after being so close
Waiting on real life and hanging on by a rope
Tied a little too tight, so it's leaving us choked
I've seen what we've done so I know we'll make it
The sun burns hot but the world is vacant
Got hit with a fist so my nose is bleeding
Get up and laugh it off 'cause you gotta stay seasoned
This is my lifeline, stuck in the sunshine
My friends and my family, ain't none other like mine
I understand this is all a part of the incline
But I'm a morning person trying to see the beauty in the nighttime

I told myself that I would take my time
But how much longer 'til I'm free outside?
I can barely tell the day from night
Will I be alright? I never feel alright
I always feel like I'm about to break
And all my friends are so far away
We left our home in the ground we laid
Remember us saying we would always stay?

Deep down I was waiting on the storm
Swimming in the ocean, should've been on the shore
I spent my life trying to grow up too fast
And now that I'm here I just want to go back
To all those nights back in the yard
Singing Story So Far and drinking beer in the dark
The best years of my life came and they went so quick
You're damn right I'd do it over again

I told myself that I would take my time
But how much longer 'til I'm free outside?
I can barely tell the day from night
Will I be alright? I never feel alright
I always feel like I'm about to break
And all my friends are so far away
We left our home in the ground we laid
Remember us saying we would always stay?
