I've been dreaming away the hours
But peace doesn't even come with sleep
As the morning arrives and the light resurfaces
I awake to the promises I failed to keep
My conscious is heavy with troubles
As I raise my hands to the sky
The questions are getting thicker with time
What's the point in living, when everything's a lie?
I try to go through the motions of seeming alright
I open my eyes to face another day
My feet move forward as I walk this thin line
But I can't steady my balance enough to feel safe
I'm tripping over words that I'm unsure how to say
I'll swallow my tongue before I let this be heard
For words have no meaning for what I need to express
Many nights I've kept quiet, and I've somehow endured
So for now I'll ride side by side with the breaking
I'll numb it whenever the opportunity arrives
I'll keep running carelessly full speed ahead
Even though it's turning me into everything I despise
So I'll avoid windows and mirrors to hide my reflection
I'll run away from these feelings that threaten to break me down
Eventually I'll hit the bottom, I'll break and thats okay
Because the only place you have to look is up, once you're on the ground
