Wheels Of Time
Suburban Tribe Lyrics

I have this thing where I get older, but just never wiser
Despite getting older, I don't feel like I'm growing any wiser.

Midnights become my afternoons
Due to my depression, I cannot differentiate between night and day.

When my depression works the graveyard shift
My depression is at its worst during the night.

All of the people I've ghosted stand there in the room
I feel guilty about the people I've abandoned and rejected in the past.

I should not be left to my own devices
I am not capable of making good decisions when left alone.

They come with prices and vices
Every decision I make comes with consequences and potential negative outcomes.

I end up in crises
My poor decision making often leads me into difficult situations.

Tale as old as time
My struggle with poor decision making is a common and recurring theme throughout history.

I wake up screaming from dreaming
My nightmares plague me even when I am asleep.

One day I'll watch as you're leaving
My poor decision making will eventually drive people away from me.

'Cause you got tired of my scheming
People will get tired of my deceitful and manipulative behavior.

For the last time
This will be the final straw for my relationships with others.

It's me
I am the problem that needs to be addressed.

Hi!
Friendly greeting.

I'm the problem, it's me
I am fully responsible for my actions and behaviors.

At teatime
A specific time of day that is peaceful and calm.

Everybody agrees
Everyone is aware of my faults and shortcomings.

I'll stare directly at the sun, but never in the mirror
I am willing to face external challenges but not address my own internal issues.

It must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero
Constantly putting on a facade and being the villain is tiring and unfulfilling.

Sometimes I feel like everybody is a sexy baby
I feel like everyone around me is immature and not yet fully developed.

And I'm a monster on the hill
I view myself as a scary and threatening figure.

Too big to hang out
I feel like I don't fit in with others due to my personality and behavior.

Slowly lurching toward your favorite city
I am making slow progress towards a goal or objective that others may have already achieved.

Pierced through the heart but never killed
I have experienced emotional pain but am still alive and trying to move forward.

Did you hear my covert narcissism
Am I being too hidden about my self-importance?

I disguise as altruism?
Am I pretending to be selfless when I am really selfish?

Like some kind of congressman
Do I act like a politician who is only interested in gaining power and status?

I have this dream my daughter-in-law kills me for the money
I have fears and anxieties about being taken advantage of for my wealth or assets.

She thinks I left them in the will
My daughter-in-law potentially believes that I will leave my assets to her.

The family gathers 'round and reads it
After my death, my family will divide and read through my will and assets.

And then someone screams out
A member of my family reacts strongly to the contents of my will.

She's laughing up at us from hell!
After my death, my daughter-in-law will go to hell and gloat about her inheritance.
