lyrics

Am I out of patience or out of time, hard to find a reason hard to find a rhyme
Every day is another chance for another try
Waking up can be the hardest part when you’re off balance right from the start
Keep the lights down stay sitting in the dark

But I guess I can’t complain When all I’m doing is wandering
Trying to find a place to go Stumbling down this unknown road
Can’t tell if I’m lost or not I lost the map and it’s so dark out
Just doing what I can to find my place, where I am, and find my way again

Never thought I’d ever hit my stride Never thought I’d get this far alive
Still I guess I’m taking my time Taking the long way, taking the long way
Always searching for a life denied Always trying to find a way to thrive
Still getting lost sometimes, I’m taking the long way, taking the long way

Want to run and hide want to disappear, start all over like a brand new year
Replace this dying world with a better atmosphere
Sick and tired of the same old games, time to refresh, time for a change
Been thinking about the ways that I can rearrange

Nothing left to lose or gain Start to think I’m going insane
Feels like I’m going slow When going fast is all I know
Not sure where I got caught On the edge of burning out
Just doing what I can to find my place, make a plan, and find my way again

Never thought I’d ever hit my stride Never thought I’d get this far alive
Still I guess I’m taking my time Taking the long way, taking the long way
Always searching for a life denied Always trying to find a way to thrive
Still getting lost sometimes, I’m taking the long way, taking the long way

We’re wandering
But we’re not lost
We’ll find our way

Never thought I’d ever hit my stride Never thought I’d get this far alive
Still I guess I’m taking my time Taking the long way, taking the long way
Always searching for a life denied Always trying to find a way to thrive
Still getting lost sometimes, I’m Taking the long way, taking the long way

All Waffle Trick Denver, Colorado

All Waffle Trick is a 3-piece Ska-Punk band from Denver, CO.

And with influences like The Bouncing Souls, Zebrahead, and Blink-182, it’s easy to hear why. ... more

viscerally affected by covid, this album has a less optimistic but more accepting message than the previous. it reaches the heart of my experience (and others'?) in a cathartic and depressing acknowledgement. it's nice to know you feel the same niq
