I've lost the words
I tried to say
I can't keep my lost
feelings at bay
I tried to run
I tried to stay
But still my pain
upon me weighs

Forget the secrets
I told and cried
Forget the times
I told and lied
I try to keep them
captive inside
I failed, I lost,
although I tried.

If you could find
my secret might
The strength I lost
but need to fight
I let my secret
out of sight
I lost my head;
Yes, you were right.
I'm hearing sounds
Right now at this moment
That have me wondering
"Why?"
Why are the sounds of songbirds
Now drowned out by computer hums?
And keyboard clicks?
Why is the sight of a great forest
Removed without care
And replaced with your upper middle class housing?
Do we need more real estate?
Why can't I walk out to a sunrise
Instead of a brick wall?
Why can't I enjoy the moonlight,
Without the orange glow of a street lamp
In my peripherals?
Society moved to far forward
And much to fast
I'm just trying to enjoy my Earth,
I'm just trying to make it last...
These days just slide in
And slide out
Like I'm watching the discovery channel
Showing a time lapse of 6 months
In six seconds
And while time moves forward
I'm still here
Stuck in the same old spot
In the same old rut
And I find myself asking
To the stars, if anything
"Where do I belong?"

Believe me its easier this way
Useless, thats what I am
Lies pour out of my mouth
I’m sorry you got dragged into this
My knuckles are red and scared for a reason
I love you
And I’m sorry

Bet you
Everyone
Loves seeing me
Like this
Am I right?
