[Verse 1]
I need to work on myself, but it's easier said than done
Tied up and left to wait in the trunk
Always lost in the same spot
Repress and forget enough and it's like it never happened
It never happened
[Chorus]
Look straight ahead
No attention to the exits
Muscle memory
Scraping by with a ball and chain
[Verse 2]
If we're as young as we feel, then why am I cold and all alone?
Searching for any sort of a**isted living
We all get lost in the same spot
Swim in self-contempt enough
And you'll drown beneath the waters
I wish that I could see through tired eyes again
Our lives felt so disposable back then
[Chorus]
Look straight ahead
No attention to the exits
Muscle memory
Scraping by with a ball and chain
Look straight ahead
And you'll see my scraping by with a ball and chain
[Bridge]
We'll stay right where we are
We're stuck right where we are
We're stuck right where we are
I looked toward the light, but it turned out
I was blind the whole time
We'll stay right where we are
