lyrics

All of my friends are fighting cases or cancer, and I'm just fighting my demons
There are so many people who would love to see another day, and I'm just trying to give all mine away

I am grateful for the life that I was given
Even though sometimes I find it hard to live it
I am blessed beyond my understanding
But I am struggling to deal with the problems that I'm facing

All of my friends are buying houses and diapers, and I'm just buying my way out
I'm getting sick and tired of being sick and tired, but when the lights go out, I know that I am not alone

I am grateful for the life that I was given
Even though sometimes I find it hard to live it
I am blessed beyond my understanding
But I am struggling to deal with the problems that I'm facing

At first it was growing pains
Then it was teen angst
Now a quarter-life crisis
Next up, a complete fucking meltdown

I walk into the cancer ward at Western Baptist
I see all the kids who would kill to have the
The strength to even get up and walk
I guess my problems aren't so bad after all

I am grateful for the life that I was given
Even though sometimes I find it hard to live it
I'm a goddamned train wreck and it's for no reason
I don't think that I will ever win, but for now I'm still breathing
