is what it is

V5.5

[Verse 1] In a cell, in a grave—it don’t matter All I want is for it to be over The road to hell is paved with good intentions I’m hitch-hiking half the way there Thumb out, forcing a fake-ass smile, ignored Tripping over failures and bad memories Actions mean nothing compared to reputation Oh well [Pre-Chorus] Heart in the right place, eyes wander Mind poisoned, hands tied [Chorus] Still here, waiting for the last train Carrying all the things I cannot change all the good don't wash away the pain of a single stupid thing that still remains If there’s a line, I’ve crossed it now If there’s a way, I can’t see how If it ends, I'll breathe deep and smile board the last train out of town [Verse 2] Too many “do tomorrows,” always settling for the less painful option Till the walls build up around me—I see no way out I’m a good man, a smart man But fuck me, I do the dumbest shit Three times I tried to quit—but it just don’t stick Still here, waiting for that final flight to board [Pre-Chorus] What will they think—the ones I love? What will they write? Does it matter? [Chorus] Still here, waiting for the last train Carrying all the things I cannot change all the good don't wash away the pain of a single stupid thing that still remains If there’s a line, I’ve crossed it now If there’s a way, I can’t see how If it ends, I'll breathe deep and smile board the last train out of town [Bridge] Some things can’t be reckoned with—the balance tips Never hurt anyone, tried to please Cared too much, but hid it well—I hope I tried hard, too hard, until I didn’t Tried to do the right thing Stayed faithful till my hand was forced But it was all for nought [Break / Soft] Broken in every way, broken down and beaten up All was taken from me, over and over—I remained, went on But fuck it… All I want is an exit All I needs a way out A good death after a shit life IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK FOR?! [Final Chorus – heavier] Still here, waiting for the last train Carrying all the things I cannot change all the good don't wash away the pain of a single stupid thing that still remains If there’s a line, I’ve crossed it now If there’s a way, I can’t see how If it ends, I'll breathe deep and smile board the last train out of town [Outro] Life’s all about the balance—good and bad I always weighed it up Every situation, every decision, Logically approached I wonder if my life will be given the same judgement I can only hope
