lyrics

All that I want in life
Are the bags under my eyes
To start to weigh enough
To keep them open wide

At least enough for me
To see that I am half asleep
Alone in the driver seat
With nobody to save me.

When will I
Start to think that
Maybe I’ll be, Maybe I’ll be
Maybe I’ll be good enough for me.
I’m in a civil war with myself.

I’m a dead man walking
With his two left feet
Pressed firmly to the ground.
I simply cannot explain
All the flaws within my name.
But I think its biggest crime
Is having to call itself all mine.

When will I
Start to think that
Maybe I’ll be, Maybe I’ll be
Maybe I’ll be good enough for me.
I’m in a civil war with myself.

I’m stuck inside my body and I don’t recognize
The broken boy once in my mind who told me I’d be fine.
In his place is the truth,
In the end we’re all born to be…used.

I never thought that I would give into this
But that just goes to show my will to not
Exist in a world where I hide and I curl and I
Bend and I bend and I bend and I break. Snap.
