I* must wake up for all of those sleeping
I can't be normal with all that I'm thinking
I close my eyes and open them, instantly feeling empty
It's hard to rise to the occasion when I'm constantly sinking
Every milestone tumbles down as I drag myself endlessly
I'll watch the world grow as *I implode
Smile after smile while still being hollow
Keep my mouth closed so I can't make a fool of myself
I'll stay alone so I won't be a burden to someone else
And it's been years since a soul offered a helping hand
But I'll fight for what I want instead going deeper in sand
So when Autumn falls I'll be a more whole man.
