Bottle This

Bottle This

Dag Nasty
(album: Minority Of One)

So tired of trying to keep up with someone else´s pace
you got a new tattoo, but the same old face
complacency is the enemy and I´ve been acting old
there´s got to be more to life than doing what we´re told
you can´t bottle this - it always slips away
shut out - of a dream we had not long ago
there´s nothing to prove, nothing to show
we´ve been told all this before
so why am I still keeping score
constraints are all around you every single day
when you´re feeling overloaded you can´t run away
and everywhere you go there´s another wall in life
no matter where you look there´s no end in sight
you can´t bottle this - it always slips away
shut out - of a dream we had not long ago
nothing to prove, nothing to show
we´ve been told all this before
and I´m still keeping score
I understand you´ve got pressure´s
but I can´t accept your reaction
it´s been a long road
is it all a distraction?
birth, school, work, death
these are things we all have to accept
and sometimes it feels like you´re hitting a wall
I can´t make sense of it all
shut up!
it´s another time and another place
get a different view and a brand new take
it´s a brand new day, it´s a brand new day
brand new day
it´s a brand new day
brand new day
