there was once a time when I was perfect and I didn't even know there was a time I was happy despite the way things were but now.

I'm not anymore
What? What do you mean? This isn't how it's supposed to be This isn't what I want for me. When did it all go wrong? It would've been at the very beginning Before we even knew it was a mistake. We can't go back There never was anything left for me. But Pretend this is the beginning The day that it all will start. There's nothing holding us back This wasn't forever It doesn't have to be. We can still be free.

Moving Forward
A bit too crazy a bit too wild a bit too much to stay in style don't keep it It's everything it's everyone It's all the world and all it wants to take us 'Im a little too timid and a little too shy a little too afraid and I don't know why don't fake it There's nothing and it's just too much to live with, it's just too much to take in you hear what they're saying? I'm a little worried and a little too tired I've gone without sleep for a little too long To wake up

Too Much
When we are done in this world Where do you think we go? Will we hang around talking with those who left before? Do you think they are still waiting, maybe they're still here? But maybe they are dead, like all of you believe and when you're dead you're gone isn't that how the saying goes? When i'm done i'm sure The thing that makes me, me, the thing I call a soul Will join the others Where the done ones go

When we are done
it is everything isnt it? it is all things all people all thoughts and behaviours They are the reason for everything for being for trying for losing and lieing Just because everything is so everything will be and everything should continue even without me.

it's everything
There are no monsters beneath my bed I see the monsters outside instead They peer through the windows in the dark But inside they never dare to tread. There are no monsters beneath my bed All my monsters live in my head And Those who leave the darkest mark Are those words that I've said. There are no monsters beneath my bed They trap my limbs in heavy lead And when I upon my path embark My final hope turns into dread There are no monsters beneath my bed I find them here instead

The Monsters
"Go ahead, be a failure that is all you ever were to me" "Let go, be a quitter that is all you could ever be" There is no reason to struggle against the inevitable Your success is a day I shall never see "Hang on, stay whole Trying is a sign" "Stand up, take control The last say is mine" Keep on fighting the battle is not over Defeat will not be the last thing I see.

To myself
I cant do anything against this this fear. Under everything that appears ordinary is the worry is this fear. What I want out of life seems too hard to achieve and even the thought of trying is swallowed up in this fear. Others success their joys and triumphs in contrast to my lack, just add fuel to this fear. This uncertainty. Will I be able to make it? or was I not created to succeed? That this is all I am is this fear.

this fear.
These rules and regulations all made for all our safety when did they become more? So smothering with no room to wriggle. Why do I feel trapped? follow them too strictly? They say we have a choice to follow but to differ is to be ridiculed even receive a penalty whatever the size. The rules made to protect me make me feel lost Somedays I want to walk diagonally instead of straight block by block. but I don't because what would be the point of breaking a rule for want?

Colour in the Lines
When the sky clears and I see that first ray of light there is hope. Things will be better today I can be all right. Standing barefoot in the bitter wind and being happy because the sky is blue I know could be an odd thing to do but after so many days of darkness the sun is a welcome sight. The trees are restless The cold winds blow away the night. Anything can happen on a day like today, a day when I actually feel okay
