I Don’t Wanna Live This Way Lyrics by Sean Gorter

The Open Door

2023

Lately I just don’t feel I’m the same
There’s something I can’t see and it pulls the way I came
And I can’t get rest when it’s on my chest this is all that’s left of me
Away I’ve been wasting and I don’t wanna live this way
Maybe I’m inside a hurricane
Surrounded completely by the winds of hurried change
Now I’m left behind while the times go by cause they’ve gotten tired of me
Who’s moving too slowly, and I don’t wanna live this way
So I’ll follow where it goes just to feel okay
With the rain beneath my toes every single day
From across the chapel rows do they hear me pray
So he knows that I don’t wanna live this way again
Take me to the last time I was made
Before it went crazy with an illness I can’t say
There’s a darkness there that I can’t repair with the tools I bear on me
It’s watching me closely and I don’t wanna live this way
So I’ll follow where it goes just to feel okay
With the rain beneath my toes every single day
From across the chapel rows do they hear me pray
So he knows that I don’t wanna live this way again
I’m a criminal, I’m an infidel, and I don’t wanna live this way
I’m an animal, indescribable, and I don’t wanna live this way
Or they’ll throw me overboard just to feel okay
Heaven knows that I don’t wanna live this way again
