Todd Johnson

Sick and tired of being sick and tired
No desire, to keep my soul from fire
Television living my life for me
Don’t know how things became so damn boring

Pain filled life
Set on uncommon grounds
Don’t think twice
If my friends might all come around
Television ruining my life for me
Don’t know how things could come so damn easily

To go out
Get high
Get drunk
Get fucked
Today
Because you never can be sure
When your god may come
And take your life away
And when the darkness falls
You bet your fucking ass
It’s here to stay
Stay ay eh
So go out
Get high
Get drunk
Get fucked
Today
Yeah
And give yourself something real

So don’t you lie to me about your destiny
When it’s all inside, just open your mind
Don’t you try to speak while i’m talking to me
It’s all a big waste of your time
Wasting your time

Sick and tired of being sick and tired
No desire, to keep my soul from fire
Television
Don’t know how things
Could come so damn easily

To go out
Get high
Get drunk
Get fucked
Today
Because you never can be sure
When your god may come
And take your life away
And when the darkness falls
You bet your fucking ass
It’s here to stay
Stay ay eh
So go out
Get high
Get drunk
Get fucked
Today
Yeah
And give yourself something real
Somethings thats for real

What a long way back
What a long way back
home

Passed your way today
And I knew you still missed me
Saw your little smile
And I knew I should go
Don’t you say the words
That make me just hate you
Don’t you say those things
And just let it go
Leave me alone

Because I’m proud of myself
For never missing you, no no
Take a look for yourself
I’m doing just fine
And not for one short breath
Have I ever thought of you, no no
And I thank the stars every night
Good god your not mine
Because I’m doing fine

Ohh oh

Why you saying things
About my behavior
Why you selling lies
To make you look good
Don’t you say the words
That make me just hate you
Don’t you say those things
And just let it go

Because I’m proud of myself
For never missing you, no no
Take a look for yourself
I’m doing just fine
And not for one short breath
Have I ever thought of you, no no
And I thank the stars every night
Good god you’re not mine
Because I’m doing fine

Whoa ooh oh
whoa ooh oh

I’m growing weary and I need some rest
I know I’m good but I’m not at my best
I’ve come to far now to just walk away
I’m growing used to living day, day to day

And when I think about my lifetime
I cling unto the dreams that may prove true
And in my morning I hope there’s sunshine and not dark skies
And that they’ve shined my whole life through
It’d be the sweetest thing
Right next to you

I’m growing worried of all things around
I going further to unchartered grounds
Loosened desires and tranquil scenes
The uninspired live forget, forgetfully

And when I think about my lifetime
I cling unto the dreams that may prove true
And in my morning I hope there’s sunshine and not dark skies
And that they’ve shined my whole life through
It’d be the sweetest thing
Right next it’s the sweetest thing
Right next it’d be the sweetest thing
Right next to you

Today i’m not myself and it seems
I have no one to blame
Victim of my games
The love is twenty four casting the tears
Nothing is what it seems
Do you understand me

Until you burn away
And you go in your own way

The times you put your life on a shelf
And you pray that you meet someone else
The love
The pain and the hate
And the fear
They all builds up over years
Over years

Until you burn away
And you go
In your own way
In your own way
Until you burn away
And you go
You go
You go
In your own way
In your own way

Sick and tired of being sick and tired
No desire, to keep my soul from fire
Television living my life for me
Don’t know how things became so damn boring
