It's my choice,
Not someones demand.
I do it for me,
I don't do it for you.

It's a way for me to come out,
Come out from behind this wall.
You like to fill me with doubt,
And you try to make me fall.

I am here for me,
I am not here for you.
I can set myself free,
I'm just someone you thought you knew.

You can walk away now,
You don't have to stay her.
Go on and say ciao,
You own life you should endear.

I do this for me,
I don't do this for you.
This is something you just can't see,
But you're gonna have to.

When I hear it I can't deny
How much I love it so
I release a relaxing sigh
And move my body to the flow

It's a part of me, everyone can see
This so called "noise" relieves my pain
It let's me be so free
It's the only thing that keeps me sane

I love to hear the beat
I move my body to the sound
While everyone else takes a seat
I move my hips round and round

All day it calls my name
Waiting for me to get up and dance
It tries to play a game
It gets me to take a chance

This is just me
Oh how I love this so
It makes me feel free
Try moving to the flow

Do you ever think about it?
I dream about it.
How will I leave this place?
Will they remember my face?

I believe it's normal to think,
To think about a way.
How will I leave this world?
When will be the day?

Many people can't handle the thoughts,
They can't bear to hear the noise.
They can't think of how the body rots,
The bug, and the corpses it destroys.

Getting placed into the cold and dark,
I dream of how it will be.
On top my grave may turn into a park,
Children stumbling round up above.

I dream about it all the time,
What will happen when I pass?
Are theses thoughts a crime?
How am I gonna die?

He never just goes with the flow
Why is it all he does is work?
He says he loves it so
So why is it not a perk?

He doesn't love the way he use to
Nobody knows him anymore
Do you see how he looks at you?
He probably thinks it's a chore

All he wants is just to die
He cuts his wrist and watches it bleed
All he does is make people cry
His pain is no longer a little seed

Now it is his heart
That sits and wallows in the pain
Changing that way wasn't very smart
He lays there now, feeling his shame

When I wake up in the morning light
I just want to shut it out
The words that I want to say
Put up a fight, not wanting to come out

I lie awake for hours in the night
Not a word from me, not a sound
I'll awake one day with dismay
But for now I don't want to be found

I turn our all of the lights
I cover my mouth with cloth
I can't stand all the fights

Why does it have to be this way
I need a reason to survive
I need to stop fighting the day
I need to lead the day with strive

I watch the cars pass outside
I start to lose my sanity
The blood has all dried
I can't hide from the voice inside of me

He doesn't know if she's in his fate
She sits there crying scared to death
Their hearts are pounding and this they hate
She sits there waiting just holding her breath

He looks at her
She starts to scream
He's not sure
This is just a dream

A dream this may be
Then why is the pain so real
They need to open their eyes and see
If love is what they really feel

I know he's out there
Somewhere looking for me
I'm waiting so patiently
But this wait is hard to bear

I'm reachin' out for someone
Does anyone hear my cries?
Reach me before sunrise
******* undone

Rescue me from this terror
Throw me out a line
I can't make another error
With you, everything will be fine

Please rescue me
Where is my Superman?
I need my Superman
I'm drowning in this sea

I'm waiting ever so calmly
I thought I saw you near
But it was just a dream I fear
I'm waiting ever so calmly
