Eleventyseven – Holding Out lyrics

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
