LYRICS
Felt like half a hundred years, maybe more
To peel myself out the bed, crawl to the bathroom floor
If there ever was a time I have felt that sore, I don’t remember it
I start remembering how I got here, why my vision seems so blurred
Findin’ out there hard way that what ails me ain’t a hangover
I can’t seem to get drunk enough to make my darkest memories burn
The match won’t stay lit
I did this to myself, can’t blame no one else
Like lightin’ the fuse on a pipe bomb then forgetting to run like hell
Every wish I dare to speak won’t take flight on the air
But becomes the latest chapter in my sad state of affairs
Spent the next half dozen hours glued to the screen on my phone
Before I cared to notice the better half of my day was gone
The only things that did not make my blood jump to a boil, I just didn’t get
Now doomscrolling wasn’t part of my original plan
Of how’d I’d spend my evening but that won’t stop me from doing it again
Been making mountains of these molehills, enemies of my friends
I should probably quit
But I did this to myself, can’t blame no one else
Like a voodoo doll all done up wrong hurtin’ the one whose casting spells
Every wish I dare to speak wont take flight on the air
But becomes the latest chapter in my sad state of affairs
I did this to myself, can’t blame no one else
Like a crooked cop too dumb to stop, sweep the street for his spent shells
Yeah, every wish I dare to speak wont take flight on the air
But becomes the latest chapter in my sad state of affairs
In my sad state of affairs

I really wanted to like this song. Maybe I need to hear it a few more times and get into the lyrics. I guess everybody in Tulsa can't be John Fullbright
