clarity

In the clouds to escape reality

Constantly running from the monsters inside of me

where do i go if i have no place to run

where do i go to find the light thats far behind the sun

How do i be happy in a world full of hate

How can i escape this hell and avoid my hidden fate

They follow me every day, the shadows in the dark

only to disappear when i see a sudden spark

crazy trips to places beyond me, beyond the world and places i can see

maybe happy lives there for she is so hard to find

working day and night to avoid the thoughts trapped in my mind

if i let them get to me they might become real

im so afraid of how they might make me feel

how do i take this away, this empty feeling in my soul

how do i void the pain that i cannot control

will it be like this forever, will i ever find love

will i ever escape myself, will i ever rise above

i reach my points of breaking and something holds me back

could it be that i am under my own attack

for i am my worst enemy, the worst of them all

waiting to see me fail, waiting to see me fall

is there more out there for me, is it even worth it

can i win this fight or will i give up and forfeit

i am at war with my own mind, crying for help i will never find

pop one pop two maybe three maybe four

dont fall in love, he only wants to score

he doesnt love you, how could he ever

you are nothing to him but a weightless feather

taking up space in a crowded room, where i am soon forced to face my doom

will i make it or will i fall

can i survive this pain afterall

i think theres hope, a light in the sea

i am no longer drowning, ive found where i can be.
