Syntax Valley - Don't Chase That Feeling Lyrics

When you feel like you're running on empty
And your battery has dropped to zero
You're trapped between a rock and a hard place
And it's clear that you're nobody's hero

You could play your cards right
And still you'll fold
You might win best in show
And regret it when you've grown old

You're out of money and you're stuck on the corner
Maybe a stranger will take you home
But the air is starting to feel colder
You're seeing crystals on the traffic cones

You could play your cards right
And still you'll fold
You might win silver in the human race
And lament that you didn't get gold

Don't chase that feeling
Don't follow your dreams
The weight of living will break your heart
Don't chase that feeling
Don't take your chances
The weight of existence will tear you apart

Hard rain is falling and you're slipping in puddles
You forgot to bring your good pair of boots
You lie face down in the middle of the street
Because at this point what have you got to lose?

You could play your cards right
And still you'll fold
You might not miss your childhood
But you'll regret it when it's all been sold

Don't chase that feeling
Don't follow your dreams
The weight of living will break your heart
Don't chase that feeling
Don't take your chances
The weight of existence will tear you apart

I thought I'd be something more than this
I thought I'd be somewhere else by now
I thought I'd be living life to the fullest
Didn't think this was how it was gonna go down

Don't chase that feeling
Don't follow your dreams
The weight of living will break your heart
Don't chase that feeling
Don't take your chances
The weight of existence will tear you apart

But somehow in the end, you
Try to get back on your feet
Blindly unaware of all the
Horrible fates that you could meet
