Day 1


Lesson learned if that's what you were trying to teach me I reached out to you with my conscience Speaking freely with an open mind Nothing is new, nothing has changed, this is the same emotion I lack It's like I was never meant to be happy Even when I strive to be a changed man Negativity is recycled back to me Daydreaming the day away like responsibility is unimportant I'm losing all my morals attempting to be someone everyone wants me to be I just want to learn and be loved doing what I do best in the process of confessing everything I have ever doubt with Leave me here in the valley, the one we know all quite well. Never fear, never run your mouth, and grow in knowledge Lately I've been exceeding in doubts and thoughts of failure I'm sorry but I don't know who I am at the moment How I bring myself so low I fiend to get high It's getting harder to get through the day Day by day they always say It gets easier with time, speaking to everybody, Do you know how it feels to have hell trying to pull you down with every step you take? They say I am over exaggerating They call it being lonely I still love this life but I'd also love to see it all fade away They who got me here in this cold and dark place are the same faces I see everyday
