Blank pages keep me awake, |
|
But these nights are too long to shake off |
|
My nerve to easy to break, |
|
A brave face is too hard to fake |
|
Stressed out and I'm losing the will, |
|
I'm too hot but I'm feeling the chill of defeat |
|
This happens every time, |
|
Push the boundaries 'til I tow the line |
|
I'll find my feet, |
|
Save my skin and hopefully |
|
Crush the doubt in my head |
|
To work this out in the end |
|
I've been crossing out the lines |
|
And I've been wasting all my time |
|
Questioning myself again |
|
With ink that's trapped inside this pen |
|
Ignore and push to the side, |
|
Plays on in the back of my mind |
|
The right words are too hard to find, |
|
Keep cool and wait for a sign |
|
No good, just good for nothing |
|
This path must lead to something |
|
Worth the doubt, the stress, the effort |
|
I always knew I could never cut the pressure |
|
Thinking back to the days when nobody knew my name |
|
It was so easy to escape |
|
My careless mind was a safer place |
|
Always asking why can't bring myself to even try |
|
Holding out till the end |
|
Fake a smile and pretend |
|
Oh, but there's still time to get these wounds to open wide |
|
Spill my guts on this page, |
|
Breaking out of this cage |
