The voices in my head have never been so loud
A moment slowly passes, another’s left to drown
The man above is looking up, the devils looking down
Why are some noises cherished? And others just sound

Nostalgia doesn’t push away the times that cause us pain
It wants to see the brighter side, and I should do the same
But I focus on the darker ones and stay inside my cage
I push away the ones I love, there’s no one else to blame

Imperfections fill my soul and nothing’s ever changed
My days are just a movie scene, I’m acting on a stage
But nights are when I lose my mind, it cannot be contained
I know I’m prone to run from love, I wish I would of stayed

Stayed to see the friends I knew grow up before my eyes
Stayed to see the girl I love become more than one night
Stayed to see my mom be proud of the man I am inside
I’d leave behind the pain I felt, and live to see the light

But I let fear take over every inch of my weak soul
I never learned to fight for me, I lost all self-control
I’m not sure I can be okay, and go on with my life
The man I see that’s staring back, I hardly recognize
