Corniest song I've written in a long time but whatever.

lyrics

It's closing time in my favorite bar after last call
The music turns off and the overhead lights come on
I was having fun but now I see the filthy carpet and the dirty walls
This dive is boring and ugly, so is everyone

Painted in a corner yellow, red and black
How did I get here? I can't go back
To the happy days, just a fantasy
To the way I've told myself it used to be

I read somewhere that our memories are unreliable
And that sometimes, we shouldn't even believe our eyes
But I'd sunk to a level of depravity that was simply undeniable
Mired in quicksand of apathy and lies

Painted in a corner deep gray and blue
Nothing I could say, nothing I could do
Got nowhere to run to, got nowhere to hide
Back against the wall, demoralized

The road to hell's not paved with good intentions
But they ain't no good if intentions are all you got
The love and kindness living in your heart are gonna atrophy with inaction
The medals you pin on your chest will just decay and rot

Try to paint the future clear, warm and bright
Don't be shy, you can color outside the lines
Don't allow complacency to stand in your way
Do something worth doing, stop throwing today away
