Holding Out - eleventyseven

My attention span is paper thin

Can’t stop from cyber-spacing out again

Is this what I’m paying for staying relevant this season?

My bank account looks more like an abyss

Friends have been asking when am I having kids

I guess stressing out is how I’m gonna spent this evening

'Cause I’m just a little bit sick of living for the weekend

A little spent from treading water in the deep end

I’m under pressure like Bowie with no way out

'Cause I’m chained to this millennial treadmill

And if the terrorists don’t get me the stress will

Oh baby I’m not holding on I’m just holding out

I’ve got my resume lookin' lit

College degree but nobody gives a shit

My future was brighter before I paid for this piece of paper

I’ve got my dreams on pause in my head

They’re slowly turning into my new regrets

Hopefully I’ll get back around to them sooner or later

'Cause I’m just a little bit sick of living for the weekend

A little spent from treading water in the deep end

I’m under pressure like Bowie with no way out

'Cause I’m chained to this millennial treadmill

And if the terrorists don’t get me the stress will

Oh baby I’m not holding on I’m just holding out

I want something more than making ends meet

More than the same week on repeat

It’s like a wave that I can’t outrun

I’m holding out 'cause I can’t hold on

I’m holding out 'cause I can’t hold on

'Cause I’m just a little bit sick of living for the weekend

A little spent from treading water in the deep end

I’m under pressure like Bowie with no way out

'Cause I’m chained to this millennial treadmill

And if the terrorists don’t get me the stress will

Oh baby I’m not holding on I’m just holding out

Baby I’m not holding on I’m just holding out
