It’s well past midnight
I’m doing what I do best
My mind won’t shut off
Takes more and more pills to get rest
Worst case won’t stop runnin’ ’round my head
Fed up with it rolled outta bed
The pills seemed to work before
But now i’m needing more and more
Guess I’m near the end of the line
And my gut is tellin’ me I’m runnin’ outta time
Can’t run from the past
No matter how hard I try
It’s true what they say
Bad news don’t get better with time
Puttin’ pen to paper
Get these demons off my chest
Maybe someday I’ll look back and see
This pain was just the test
Thoughts are rustin’ my brain
Pretend that I’m doing fine
But like bad news
Rust don’t get Better with time
Gotta get it all out
It’s about the only way
If I wanna be able to feel
the sun touch my face
Keep on keepin’ on
That’s easier said than done
Try fightin’ these thoughts in my head
Trust me it ain’t nothing fun
Bottle’s gone dry mirror’s cracked in two
A stranger stares back askin’ “What happened to you?”
Tired of pretendin’ tired of the fight
Just wanna find peace when I turn off the light
Can’t run from the past
No matter how hard I try
It’s true what they say
Bad news don’t get better with time
Puttin’ pen to paper
Get these demons off my chest
Maybe someday I’ll look back and see
This pain was just the test
So here’s one last line
Scrawled in black and blue
If I don’t make it
This song is my truth
But maybe tomorrow
I’ll find a reason to climb…
Even if bad news don’t
Get better with time
