We all feel lost sometimes

We crank up our music

Drown in the rhymes

You won't always feel this broken

You'll be fine I swear

All you need

Is someone to care

You stay home at night

Listen to music, wrong and right

You think too much

Just hold on tight

Think about your future

Think about your dreams

You'll get away from here

Not always as bad as it seems

You are the designer

Of your own catastrophe

You run away

You scream

"Please don't come after me"

And suddenly you're sad

For no reason at all

All the weight on your shoulders

Makes it hard to stand tall

You were drowning

But no one saw your fight

You were dying

Falling into the black of night

But please don't worry

Everything'll be alright

You feel nothing

But too much at the same time

Feel like you're trapped in a box

Not unlike a mime

And then

Everything falls apart

Over again

You're always haunted

By the fear you'll waste your life

Your mind falls into black

And you pick up your knife

It speeds up

Seems to fall into black

Shots from all around

Feelin' like you're under attack

You want to be taken

To the time of a happy you

You want to disappear

Leave no clue

Everything is broken now

Not like things were great before

Sticks and stones

May break my bones

But words can't hurt me

Actually

That's a lie

Words make you break down and cry

Words can pin your wings

When you're trying to fly

Been held down so long

Why even bother to try

Why is life

Always break or bust

When did everyone

Lose their ability to trust

Oh I remember when,

If I think back again,

Right about the time your "friends"

Threw you straight into the wind

So you pick up a paper

Pick up a pen

You write how you feel

Over again

Close your eyes

And count to ten

Yeah, I guess that's about when.

You drag along in life

Eyes as dull as they can be

Blackness clouds over

Now you can't see

You sit down and cry

Look up at the sky

Silently ask one question:

Why?

Why was it you

What'd you ever do

You guess you deserve

All the things they say

You repeat that lie to yourself

Every day
