Cover it up and leave it be

I remember how i used to look into your eyes
Now i just sit and drink and listen to my own lies

You left me alone in a dark room alone with my thoughts
I cant believe how many of your lies i bought

But things have passed away and strolled right by
And i sit here at my desk with my head burning as i fry

From that last moment i realized right then
That ill never again remember how things begin

Or even how they started for that matter
I just keep climbing up and down the same ol latter

Why do i do this to myself
Put my brain up on the shelf

Never use it for any good purpose
I just sit idlely by so god damn nervous

From the pain of losing loved ones and friends
From the changes of life and the beginnings and ends

Why must we put ourselves through all this
Why cant we put it behind us and bury it in a pit

Cover it up and leave it be
Cause you know we cant just be free

From our thoughts and desires
Were surrounded by our own wires

Kept in our own cages of self destruction
But we keep rebuilding, reconstruction

Ill never know what this all really means
But i do know ill do whats in between

Try my best to get through this life
And never end it by the edge of a knife
