lyrics

No motivation, hardly can try
My life's a complete mess, my mind is just fried
Rule it a suicide, if I should die
I think I'll just sit here, and watch the time fly past my eyes

Why must it be like this?
Why does everything feel so amiss?
Why do I feel this way?
Why is this life filled with total dismay?
Oh, I try and I try, always to no avail
I give it my all, and in turn I fail
I long for a good day, yearn for peace of mind
But I don't want to leave anybody behind

I am afraid

Push open the door to show
The somber world of reality
With haunting clarity
The bright rivers that flowed
For all of these years
Are now muddy ponds
Flooded with tragedy

I'm a fly on the wall
Inside my own head
Where all that I know
Is all that I dread
Imagination becomes all I have left
On the outside I'm blithe
On the inside I'm dead

Why must it be like this?
Why does everything feel so amiss?
Why do I feel this way?
Why is life filled with total dismay?
Oh, I try and I try, always to no avail
I give it my all, and in turn I fail
I long for a good day, yearn for peace of mind
But I don't want to leave anybody behind

I am afraid

I long for a good day, yearn for piece of mind
But I don't want to leave anybody behind
