Devout

from Long Time Coming by Justin Maki

/

about

Like an abusive relationship, university can feel oppressive and inescapable. For the future benefit, I must overcome my mental obstacles in the direction of graduation.

lyrics

My life was carrying on as planned
And then you walked in, stated your demands
Is this where I should be
How much longer will it take for me to see what is right for me

Cause I
I can't keep up
And every time I try again
I feel like giving up
And every second I put in
Is not enough
So I'm breaking down
But no, I can't breakdown
So I guess for now
I'll have to live my life devout

It's been a couple weeks and I've just given in
She said, for her whole life, she's wondered where I've been
I feel overwhelmed
This arranged engagement begets insanity
But I know it is right for me

Cause I
I can't keep up
And every time I try again
I feel like giving up
And every second I put in
Is not enough
So I'm breaking down
But no, I can't breakdown
So I guess for now
I'll have to live my life devout

This ever-tiding fight or flight
It won't subside
Unless I evade these crashing waves
The custom to which I've subscribed
It hates my kind
But I'll molt if I stay

Cause I
I can't keep up
And every time I try again
I feel like giving up
And every second I put in
Is not enough
So I'm breaking down
But no, I can't breakdown
So I guess for now
I'll have to live my life
I'll live my life
I'll live my life devout
