mister conscience - up&over lyrics

as all my friends start great careers
i’m begging for a measly raise and something better to do
they’ve all got houses and condos they can afford
i move from a basement apartment to another i can’t afford
so tell me what the h-ll happened?
did i do anything with my time?
did i get too lazy, fall off the horse, and now i can’t reclimb?
or am i just a victim to my useless sk!lls in place and time
they say man, go do this or that but i just
can’t be someone i know that i’m not

i just keep pacing back and forth
trying to organize and plan
but getting caught up in the
disappointment of what’s in my hand
but i’ll make it out someday

i spend too much time in my head
at least that’s what they tell me
yeah, that’s what everyone said
it never does me any good
just keeps me bitter, longing for an escape if i could
i’d like to travel ‘round for years
maybe make videos, write stories and face all my fears
the risk of failure reappears
what’d you expect?
of course you don’t have what it takes to live that out

i just keep pacing back and forth
trying to organize and plan
but getting caught up in the
disappointment of what’s in my hand
but i’ll make it out someday

and as the years go flying by
i’m reminded of my age and time
and feeling like i never did
what i set out to do, so
i’ll just be feeling dead inside

they say i still have so much time
i just have to get back in line
and put more years in something
i don’t know that i wanna do
but that’s not good for my mind

so ask another question, mister conscience
to keep me up at night
like why i don’t know how to decide
if everything i’ve done was a waste of time
someone told me that it was
but i’m still stuck writing these songs

like putting my education towards a real job
wondering when all my hard work will pay off
another sixty hour work-week just to get by
and trying to be a good husband at the same time
wishing that i wrote more music before twenty-five
and hoping to own a house while i’m still alive
really don’t wanna rent until the day i die
but i can’t stomach anymore debt, so for now it’s alright

but i think it’s true that
a lot can come from our union dues
only time will tell, nothing to lose
what’s in my head? an enormous stress?
a potential threat from my student debt
and sleepless nights laying in my bed
with coworkers floating in my head
and the bullshit from the management
to the membership and how it tips

and human rights activists, they deserve more respect
they do that shit for free, protecting you and me
some of you don’t even thank them
but these are just things that keep me up at night
