Name: Restless
Duration: P00H03M20S
Description: I wrote this song in response to my dad criticizing me for not focusing on anything. I wrote it to claim the restlessness as a source of power, creativity, and inspiration. I felt like he didn't understand that it was the creative spirit that was driving me to find new sights and sounds to inspire me.

lyrics

Nothing matters much to me anymore
I’d rather be the one lying on the floor
Would you hold it against me if I walked away?
I've been lounging around here for several days

You thought your innocence
Was something limitless
I like to ride around
With the bad boys on the town

I'm getting out of here
I'm gone and I'm never coming back
I'm giving it one more round
I'm giving it one more chance

Life is meaningless and totally out of control
What would it matter if I let everything go?
What would we find if we went over there?
Nothing, I tell you, it's the same as here

You thought that your desire
Could never expire
But baby it's like a fire
You've got to keep it alive

I'm getting out of here
I'm gone and I'm never coming back
I'm giving it one more round
I'm giving it one more chance

I'm sick of being at home
I sit and stare at the door
I wanna see something
I've never seen before

I'm getting out of here
I'm gone and I'm never coming back
I'm giving it one more round
I'm giving it one more chance
