Midwestern Mirage

Midwestern Mirage
Fading in and out of view
I get lost, anxious thoughts
Every time I look at you
Forget who I am
Haven't got the slightest clue
Shut my mouth
'Cause no one really wants the truth

Everything's right where you left it

Don't need your advice
I only wanted you to listen
It's getting harder and harder for me to hold the line
Sorry to repeat myself
You never hear it the first time

Got a mantra
You've found something worth believing in
It's working for a while
Try to make the best of it
Happier in squalor
There's no pressure to be anything
Just a quiet life
With a quiet end

And everything's right where you left it
Don't need your advice
I only wanted you to listen
It's getting harder and harder for me to hold the line
Sorry to repeat myself
You never hear it the first time

Nothing ever really gets any easier
I think I just get used to how it feels
I see pain in every future
Yeah that's just part of the deal

And everything's right where you left it
Don't need your advice
I only wanted you to listen
It's getting harder and harder for me to hold the line
Sorry to repeat myself
You never hear it the first time
