I can't sleep, I just lie awake and pray to dream,
I close my eyes fearing I can't avoid the screams
A faded vision of a future that I used to see that mirrors the reflection of a man
I won't pretend to be, amazingly, I survived the past I can't deny,
I'm too tired to try apologized a million times, and just as much,
I've seen that look while I'm still not surprised
Truthfully that well ran dry, ran out of alibis, eggshell walking, just to keep my conscience clean,
Everyone's talking, like it took too long to still believe, I'm done explaining
They'll never see me differently, or know the severity, of what it takes to just be me so for the record, yes,
I'm addressing all this misery, the extent of my success
I guess is what remains a mystery, so this is for the people, that continue to relate to me
I'm sure fans would agree, feeling exactly the same as me
Surrounded by all this pain, trapped in the past, my yesterdays, still haunting me,
How much can one person really take, need someone to light the way, don't know how long
I've been in this place, won't you just come, come take me away, out of this place, my way, escape
Please, come take me away,
On this road I travel, I have walked alone, life is usual
Too ashamed to even right my wrongs, when all our love is gone, and without these songs
Would I even be strong enough to stand here and hold my own, in a crowded room
Silence still breaking through, too proud to show, all the pain that I've been going through
And truth be told, this pattern isn't nothing new, life is ruining me, I'd turn back if I was you
Cause I'm ready to blow my brains out or slit my wrist cowardly, spend another day
On this hourly salary, everyday, same routine, sucking the life right out of me
Wondering, will I be, everything they need me to be, suffering, holding in, bottled up animosity
Anxiety is besting me, defeated way too easily, this is for the people, that continue to relate
To me, I'm sure fans would agree, feeling exactly the same as me,
Surrounded, by all this pain
Trapped in the past, my yesterdays, still haunting me, how much can one person really take
Need someone to light the way, don't know how long I've been in this place
Won't you just come, come take me away, out of this place, can't seem to find my way, my escape, won't you come Come take me away
I can't regret it, but if I go back, probably do it different, couple wrong decisions
Makes days hard to live with, memories I can't forget, lost every ounce of self-respect
Overboard, off the ship, destroyed my life, now I'm a wreck, what a mess I had this dreamream
Risked it all to wake unclean, done my dirt, frayed the seams, been an evil seed in the plot
Of schemes, it seems to me, I'm doomed to be, surrounded by my own deceit, spiders prey
I'm never free, tangled in this web I weaved, still a stronger me
Emerged despite the treachery, ain't an easy feat, reaching, climbing to live comfortably
You keep denying, with a heart in me, you'll still succeed, beyond this place, above the pain
It's up to us to take the lead, so follow me, the time is now, fill the empty space between
Suddenly my voice is power, craving every word I speak, this is for the people, who continue
To relate to me, sure fans would agree, feeling exactly the same as me
