Finish Line

My mother called me Same old story Nothing new under the sun Another fuck up Family bad luck What a wonderful rerun And I'm the keeper Every detail deeper Settled to my bones And it eats at me At my hands and knees 'Til I might as well be stone And I try and I try All I do is try And they lie Yea they lie there like Whatever is theirs is mine And I'll carry it always All the way to the goddamn finish line And I try and I try He'll tell his stories Mad they bore me Like I didn't live them too Changing outcomes Every sore thumb Is just a different point of view And I ruin nights by Fighting fights that Someone else should've already won But I do what's right I do what's right Yea I do what needs to be done And I try and I try All I do is try And they lie Yea they lie there like Whatever is theirs is mine And I carry it always All the way to the goddamn finish line And I try and I try Over and over it's "Can't we all just get along?" Sit in a cirlce "Sing us a song" Shooting the shit 'Til the fire is gone And then turn around And tie one on And we'll wake up tomorrow like Nothing has changed Like it's good and it's right To have just stayed the same Never grow never bend never break Just pretend it's all great And I try and I try All I do is try And they lie Yea they lie there like Whatever is theirs is mine And I carry it always All the way to the goddamn finish line And I try and I try And I try and I try and I try and I try And I try and I try and I try
