As I see the door

Another 24 hours poured into the cement
Living through another's person's regrets..
Just one piece of a puzzle, too big to comprehend
Can't see the end, left the lights on again
In the past, the future looked too close to hold..
And now the present seems like it's too close and cold, i'm tired of trying to be bold.
Inside myself looking out; it all seems fake
Whatever motivates, the day puts it away
Used to be apathetic, loved the only one living but things change when you're the only one…. Breathing.
I'm speaking to the world, but I'm the only one in it
Your eyes couldn't watch the way the world spins

I'll sit there and watch on the day the world ends
If it burns then the earth will become the wind
I'll hold what I learned and start it over again Because... who knows if your steps are planned out..
I feel lost, and nobody's there to stick a hand out;
I am man now.. because I felt too strong
And I feel like I lived with myself too long
This isn't the right time or place for these words
We don't have the right kind of space for these birds
If we all could fly, If we all could cry
Everybody would laugh, and we all would die..
The sky hangs over my head, I can feel the weight of the gravity
Concealing my fate, and let me just deal with hate
I lost compassion, everything's cold when it's near us
I spend too much time with my soul in this mirror… Everything is trapped inside of me and ever since my parents got divorced I refuse to believe in monogamy.
My heart is crashing down like the U.S economy, but I better man up before Donald Trump places a wall on top of me.
