Is it me
Is there something I can change
About my appearance today
I hoped I could persuade you to stay
You showed me
New ways to love and embrace
I was self-destructive before I found
A way out of that place
Driving fast
The feelings lost on an empty street
The thought of what could have been and never was
The thought of you and me
And I can't eat
I can't think straight
And I like losing sleep for days
If they say time will
Heal all of our wounds
Then why do I hurt worse than yesterday
And I'm alright
And I'm ok
And whatever else you need me to say
To give you comfort
That you need
The truth is I'm not sure that you're done with me
I'm afraid
That's for damn sure
Afraid there's no one else for me
So take your time
And see the world
Then just let me know when you find peace
With yourself

All my friends wave to me across the room
While I'm tied up in a chair
And I swear that I
Could no longer breathe but
It was all a dream
Or was it all a sign
That nothing is alright
That nothing is ok
Cause the head is full of lies
It's full of excuses
As to why I never write
Instead I'll go to a space
It's where my head was sheltered and blind
I'm goin back to Pine Run Drive
Back to peace of mind
Everything's fine
Back on Pine Run Drive
Back to peace of mind
I fell out of a plane the other day
And when I hit the ground
It was just another dream of death
Cause' I haven't felt awake in several months
Since last December
That's the last good time I remember
I wish I could erase you from my mind
Eternal Sunshine
It's eating me alive
Just let me dream and overdose
Put me in a coma and hold me close
And now you don't exist anymore
How long will this moment remain
Cause I'm lookin for a permanent stay
Things will never change
As long as I remain in this glass case
Back to Pine Run Drive
Everything's just fine
Back to Pine Run Drive
Back to peace of mind

I am known for all I am worth
I am dirt
I have never been so sure
In a void now underneath the ground
I lie awake
Continuous decay
I laid down with all the dead trees
A forest burned
I’m still looking through the ashes
In search of a fading memory
From a distant past
Where the focus lost and I stopped believing in my dreams
Self aware yet ignorant to some
I know just enough to assess the fool I’ve become
I am spent, I am tired of playing sheep
I am bright enough to follow, but not smart enough to lead
And when the dust has settled all down
Will it be too late before I find out
That I am the key that never turned
I am the universe against me
I am why it never worked
My minds defense is always strong
Sleep is a curse
A depression nap, it's a battle lost
My mind works best when it’s turned it off
It’s an auto-pilot crutch
I am half awake, I am halfway gone
I belong here, Its where I’m from
I am consumed
By the rotting mouth of my hometown
Unaware of what I’ve become
A 9-5 man
Complacent with the work, so I'll keep biting my tongue
Some will stare, Invisible to most
I am a ghost, I am alone as I turn to stone
Self Repair is a skill I haven’t got
Oh how I miss the feeling lots
My memory is all that I’ve got
And when the dust has settled all down
Will it be too late before I find out
That I am the key that never turned
I am the universe against me
I am why it never worked

Thousand faces in my mind
Each one is worn by me
Shape-shift on my own stage
I only live to please
The Head has no vacancy
Full of stolen identities
Thousand characters in my head
They are all my disease
Thoughts siphoned, a thief of originality
I’m in disguise running from me
The Head has no vacancy
Full of stolen identities
Void of thought and sanity
I don’t want anyone to leave

I
Turned to white
Absent in color
Shining so bright
I
Had to hide
In a dark place
Where I fell behind
And how
Do I move now
When I’m tied down
To train tracks now
But I
Have to try
I can’t wait
For someone to save my life
Dreams
Are few and far between
Wishing I could catch just one forever
Instead I wake up don't remember
And you
You don't apologize
You say you don’t approve but say you love me
These Mental tactics are sad and ugly
I’m holding on
Barely keeping my heart stitched together
Preserved the soul in this fucked up weather
And I wear it proud
I don’t have to wear
Someone else's face out loud
I am on a better path
Things that used to eat me away are dead in the past
I am better now
I am not so down
Now I know
There's more to come and I’ll get that feeling again
I know
To stay in the dream is to have a complacent stand still
With life
I am worth more than the dirt in the earth I work towards
And I
No longer have to wear their masks anymore
I’m not
afraid of change and there’s more that’s coming my way
And I
Will learn to grow and leave that petty head-space
Behind
And I’ll stop looking in the past for a reason
To hide
I’ll learn how to fall in love with myself again
