I apologize for seeming so weird Its just that fate has always showed me exactly I feared If you thought that I enjoyed or reveled in the oddities You’d be wrong, I’ve always envied the wannabees Its the price I pay for being aware I never cared to know this much about the truth, I deem it unfair I feel like I’ve always wanted love But as much as I’ve desired its not something I was made of My life has been nothing on this side of typical Growin up I felt my beliefs to be unsinkable Then she broke all my understanding of reality Mom showed me life was anything you wanted it to be And I don’t know if that was for good or bad I started pushing the envelope just to see what I really had Could you love me if I really did this? Probably but I would never tell you, keeping secrets balled inside my fists They would only explode when they hit But no one ever saw, I was my only friend when I had to get through the hell of it Years have passed I may be getting over it But I still feel as empty as the day I fell inside this **** If my message couldn’t be anymore clear I feel like its been a mistake since the day I got here And I can’t emphasize how much I die every time I go to a lifeless job that leaves us more blind I see the soulless look inside your eyes and I wonder if you could pinpoint which moment in your life you died I’m not saying that I’m perfect in any shape or form I often wish God wouldn’t have wasted this life on someone so **** to under preform I don’t know what it is I’m living for The jist of what I’m meaning is there has to be so much more We have to believe that what we do matters Because if it had no meaning we’d just be a bunch of unpaid actors Going through the day to day, trying to grab as much pleasure that comes your way And I feel sorry for those who think that’s what its about Who feel that nothing happens when the light inside you goes out And once again, I don’t pretend to know it all But I know this much, there’s a lot of undiscovered life inside of ya’ll.

The Life Inside
I apologize for seeming so weird Its just that fate has always showed me exactly I feared If you thought that I enjoyed or reveled in the oddities You’d be wrong, I’ve always envied the wannabees Its the price I pay for being aware I never cared to know this much about the truth, I deem it unfair I feel like I’ve always wanted love But as much as I’ve desired its not something I was made of My life has been nothing on this side of typical Growin up I felt my beliefs to be unsinkable Then she broke all my understanding of reality Mom showed me life was anything you wanted it to be And I don’t know if that was for good or bad I started pushing the envelope just to see what I really had Could you love me if I really did this?
