Stranger

Worn out and tired of this complacency.
There's no denying the fact that I've been struggling lately.
So desperate for change, but too afraid to turn the page.
But if I reach the next chapter, maybe then, I'll get what I'm after.
Have you ever felt so alone that you were swallowed alive by the silence?
I'm so familiar to that feeling that I have it down, down to the science.
Consider me a stranger; I'm lost in my own skin.
It's a never-ending battle that I can't seem to win.
And as I fight to find a sense of purpose - I'm left here to wonder what my worth is.
And with each passing day it's a shot at my pride.
It's overwhelming and eating at me from the inside.
Whoa oh whoa. Whoa oh whoa. Yah!
I don't want to be another faded memory that can't seem to find a place in this life.

Happy Again

I've been stepped on, one to many times before.
Now there's a guard up that we can't ignore.
I can't fuel a fire that doesn't burn anymore.
I'm sick to my stomach, consumed by the pain.
What will it take for panic to find peace and fade away?
For now it's apparent; it's made a home in my head.
It's here to stay. Leaving me broken man in disarray.
I don't want to be, I don't want to be,
I don't want to be who I've been lately.
I mean that wholeheartedly.
Steady these hands; help me understand,
what it means to be happy. I just want to be happy again.
Broken like a record, I haven't been feeling myself.
Hmmm. Will I be put back together, or casted aside
to collect dust on a shelf? I guess only time will tell.
I don't want to be, I don't want to be,
I don't want to be who I've been lately.
I mean that wholeheartedly.
Steady these hands; help me understand
what it means to be happy. I just want to be happy again.
I don't, I don't want to be who I've been lately.
Steady these hands; help me understand.
I just want to be happy again.
I just want to be happy again.

No Control

I'm doing my best to speak from the heart.
Truth be told, I'm afraid that I'm falling apart.
I'd do anything to get outside of my head.
But here I am, suffering alone instead.
So tell me words I need to hear.
Now that death is a demon I no longer fear.
This cycle of uncertainty doesn't seem to have an end.
It's like I'm being dragged through hell and back again.
I apologize for my bad vibes and negativity but,
unfortunately, I have a dark side that seems to get the best of me.
I find myself surrendering to substance,
just to fill a void. It's the only constant;
that calms the voices and blocks out all the noise.
Whoa, oh-oh, I am no longer in control.
At what point do I draw the line
And say enough is enough.
But I guess, the real question is;
will I ever be worthy of your love?
All I can do for now is chase a high to numb the pain.
This life of lonesome solitude is getting harder to maintain.
I find myself surrendering to substance,
just to fill a void. It's the only constant;
that calms the voices and blocks out all the noise.
Whoa, oh-oh, I am no longer in control.

This isn't what I expected.
Disappointed to say the least.
Please give me some time to myself,
To collect my thoughts and breathe.
There's an unsettling discomfort in
not knowing what's next.
It's as prevalent as the heart
that beats in my chest.
And for whatever reason,
I can't seem to shake the feeling,
like I'm locked inside a cage; a lost, sad soul
with no hope of escape.
No, I'm not looking for any of your sympathy
just some much needed clarity. My eyes are open
but somehow, I still fail to see; this displaced truth
brings out the worst in me.
I'm so misguided, you led me a stray.
Dragged through the mud again
as if there was no other way.
If only I could rewrite the words that won't erase.
I'd like to make sense of this mess
and fill in the dead space.
And for whatever reason, I can't seem to shake the feeling,
like I'm locked inside a cage; a lost, sad soul
with no hope of escape.
No, I'm not looking for your sympathy just
some much-needed clarity.
My eyes are open but somehow
I still fail to see; this displaced truth
brings out the worst in me.
Blinded by love in a sacred place
Blinding my heart as I try to save face
Blinding myself like there's no other way
Like I've stayed my welcome an
I've been replaced. There was never a now or a then
just the time in between. And I didn't come here to bleed
but maybe that's just what I need
I didn't come here to bleed
But maybe that's what I need
Forget the promise you made
And let me die in this cage
I didn't come here to bleed (but maybe that's what I need)
I didn't come here to bleed (but maybe that's what you need)
My eyes are open but somehow, I still fail to see;
this displaced truth brings out the worst in me.
