Thoreau - Keeping Score Lyrics




I've been out with my best friends
I need this more than I'd like to admit
Running in circles the games we pretend
Like my whole life ain't just another dead end

I wake up
After I stayed up
This face of
F*cking disgrace of

Your man, your son, the one you try to defend
Guess I could make it easy but don't mean to offend

That's just it
I'm broke and shit and I got nothing to show

For the money that you spent so that I could grow up to be
One of your favorite things to talk about
Now we don't like to talk about
The fact that you were wrong about me

All of the things I could be
All of the things I should be
I used to chalk it up to how you never understood me

And that was easy making you the one that never push me
And now the shame has overtook me
Just little too late

It's life
It's alright
I'm okay
Still afraid
What you think
At the end of the day

'Cuz I can't afford
What you take me for
'Cuz we keeping score
This shits got me worn

Half empty bottles on the shelf represent
All of the many things I ain't finished with
Take another pull like I'm running a race
Like as if my sobriety's the only thing in the way

Not today

You can leave me where you found me
Don't expect many of y'all to really wanna stick around me

At the county judge begging for some lenience
Like as if he gives a f*ck bout my convenience
It's genius

Just like that degree you said I would need
2019 and can't get a job thought it was guaranteed

But f*ck it you can keep your 9 to 5
I would rather starve chasing the thing that's keeping me alive yeah

I'm 25
Quarter century down
Got hella shit to prove
Done saying potentially now

I'm 25
Quarter century down
Got hella shit to prove
Done saying potentially now

It's life
It's alright
I'm okay
Still afraid
What you think
At the end of the day

'Cuz I can't afford
What you take me for
'Cuz we keeping score
This shits got me worn
