In this world of madness,
It's hard to find the norm.
In this swirling chaos,
You calm my storm.
You are my strength,
You are my weakness,
You are a pure disease.
Can you stay,
Till this storm passes
Can you wait,
Till I fathom
The thought that you
Would be with me
Because I never dreamt
That this could be

Is there no one there?
Is there no one to help me?
I keep screaming unfair
But I’m drowned by monotony
I can't help but wonder
Why did you have to bother?
You won't be happy
Till I’m six feet under
You say its love at first sight
I’d say its first degree
Because every single night
You love to break me
We’ve been going strong
But lately its been getting hard
And I wonder how long
Before it’s all too scarred
I can't make up my mind
Keep you for security
Or go out and see what I can find
You tell me it’s my maturity
But I think it’s your mood
You want it to last
But it’s so hard to conclude
That you and I are past...

I can't let it get to me
But every time I try
He just burns right through me
Burns right through my eyes
You say he's just a friend
But what was he before
You say it won't happen again
But what's one time more?
I can't let him get to me
He’s like a broken leg
When I keep trying to run
******* can't let it get to me
But it keeps burning my mind
The thought that you can escape me
Just never makes it right
I hate it when I think
I hate it when I dream
Cause every time I do
You seem to just leave
I’m gonna stop this now
And never look back
These horrible thoughts I have
Are going in the trash
**** him and his life
Hope he gets well soon
I’m leaving this place
I’ll be back by noon...

Day in, day out, Life goes by
Sometimes, showing you every detail.
You notice every flower, every specific aspect.
But, like most, my Life is a blur.
Minutes pass into hours
Hours into days.
Days into years.
I try to stop the monotony
But every effort I put forth
Is shot down, or backfired.
"In the end, everything's gonna be okay"
That’s what they say.
It's hard to believe, when day-by-day
Life continues the same boring way
I guess it'll work out, I guess it'll be okay.
It's hard to see, it's hard to breathe.
But I'll make it through till the end.
You'll see, because I'll be there,
When you are beginning to leave,
Crossing over that no return line.
To wave you goodbye.

How can you call it love?
How can you call it anything?
I see you every day,
And when I say hi,
You turn away.
But, still, I persist.
Striving for your attention.
I call you every day.
But you're "busy" with your friends.
You yell when I'm too close,
You scream when I'm too far.
There is no middle ground for you,
Just an empty space.
An empty space where you fill my heart.

Have you ever found yourself in a dilemma?
Found yourself between two things.
On the one side, you have security,
And on the other chance.
You like to gamble, and roll your dice.
But is it worth the price?
Can you juggle both, and not get caught?
Or do you stick with what you've got,
And regret never taking that one chance,
That one chance to fly....

And I’m so tired
And I’m so beaten
I’m sore and used
Every time I stand up
I keep getting bruised
The world never stops
The world never quits
It keeps on going,
Even if I persist
I can't stop change
I can't change the norm
I can't even hold on
To what was once warm
I tried to once, a long time ago
Only to lose
And learn to let go
