(Hook: Kirk)
Is this everything that you thought it’d be?
Everything you were feels so lost to me.
You get so high and then you fall to me.
Late at night I can’t hear you calling me, I gave you all of me.
I need something healthier.
You know that I would go through hell for ya.
If I wasn’t so lost somewhere in Philadelphia.
If I wasn’t so lost somewhere in Philadelphia.
(Verse One: Kirk)
“I won’t ask you where you’ve been.
You might look like Kirk, but you’re not him.
You might sing the same songs to me.
But it all feels wrong to me…”
You need somebody to hold you up and I need somebody to fall on.
Besides cam girls from overseas and these random women I call on.
Need a real friend to talk to, turns out, they’re all gone.
You’re right it’s all wrong… And it’s all on me.
I’m not mad, love. I’m just frustrated.
Trying to figure out what’s left now; now that the lust faded.
Trying to figure out what’s real now; now that the drugs faded.
Subjugated by the silence to the point where I feel suffocated.
You should let me drown.
Don't ask me what I found out here…
You’d be disappointed.
My head is filled with distant choices and malicious voices.
That eclipses the noise--
(Hook: Kirk)

You know that I would go through hell for ya.
If I wasn’t so lost somewhere in Philadelphia.
If I wasn’t so lost somewhere in Philadelphia.
