The Ride from Controlled Burns by Megan Jay

Are we on the road to nowhere?
I feel it every day
I don't know how we got here
Where I've got nothing left to say

And I don't feel like trying
But it's not like me to not care...
But I don't recognize myself
Behind that thousand mile stare

And I'm so tired
Of starting over again
And I've lost all my friends
Do I admit defeat
And go it alone
Or do I swallow my pride
And try to enjoy the ride
To nowhere?

And every night like clockwork
At 3 am I wake
With this overwhelming feeling
That I've got to escape

And I mostly cry in silence
I'm so ashamed of me
I don't know how it got here
How didn't I see?

And I'm so tired
Of starting over again
And I've lost all my friends
Do I admit defeat
And go it alone
Or do I swallow my pride
And try to enjoy the ride
To nowhere?

I'm so sick of being praised for how well I can take a beating
Metaphorically speaking

I don't want to take beatings anymore

And I'm so tired
Of starting over again
And I've lost all my friends
Do I admit defeat
And go it alone
Or do I swallow my pride
And try to enjoy the ride...
