This song went through many iterations and has a very classic instrumentation and is fused together with modern elements. it may sound like it is from the 80's but it may also invoke feelings of the future.

lyrics

Getting wasted at nights
Is turning into wasting my days
Wish it was somebody else’s fault
But I’m the one to blame

gonna ruin my life
I’m too good at playing that game
Before you get too close (too close)
Ima push you away

And I can’t keep living this way
No I can’t keep living this way
I wanna change
Oh I just wanna change

Too tired to speak
but I've got nothing to say
All of the friends that used to call
moved on to better things

And it’s a downward spiral
My hands are idle
Got no end in sight
I got nowhere to hide
And I’m paralyzed
Paralyzed
All of the time

And I can’t keep living this way
No I can’t keep living this way
I wanna change
Oh I just wanna change

Because because
I can’t keep living this way
No I can’t keep living this way
I wanna change
Oh I just I wanna change

I’m my own sabotage
all of this I’m the cause
I’m my own sabotage
I am the cause

I’m my own sabotage
all of this I’m the cause
I’m my own sabotage
I am the cause

And I can’t keep living this way
No I can’t keep living this way
I wanna change
Oh I just wanna change

Because because
I can’t keep living this way
No I can’t keep living this way
I wanna change
