I am alive right now, right now I'm alive
But I'm feeling dark, yeah I'm feeling blind
Don't know what tomorrow brings, got a feeling I don't care
My thoughts are mine and they're so hard to share
You do not owe me anything but I am not yours to keep
I will lie still in silence and just continue to weep

I am not here, I have been lost
I have traveled far beyond this box
All the roads on the map
It doesn't matter now
The time passing by
It doesn't feel right now
And I am not this, I cannot see
I cannot breathe with it crushing me

There is a crack beneath where I stand, the length of my elbow to my hand
It leads to a hole inside of the ground
It whispers my name, forcing me to glance down
It grasps at my ankles, holding me still
I kick and fight it with all of my will
But I am fatigued, I have grown weak
I have begun to lose what I seek

I am not here, I have been lost
I have traveled far beyond this box
All the roads on the map
It doesn't matter now
The time passing by
It doesn't feel right now
And I am not this, I cannot see
I cannot breathe with it crushing me

I don't know where I'm going, sure I'll see you there
When I find me again a smile we can share
And you'll see how happy a sad heart can be
Yeah we will see how happy a sad heart can be
