I want to change my name, and run away to a deserted island, Cry myself to sleep, then sleep for an eternity. I want to scream, But I can't. I want to just blink, And things be different. I want to feel in control of my life, Independent. I want an unlimited supply of fuel, To travel across the country. But it doesn't matter what I want, Because life is what it is. Conform. Conform. Conform. I have to stop feeling, Stop wanting, Stop caring, Stop having my own thoughts. Otherwise, I'll be eaten alive, From the inside out.

You Can Want But You Can't Have
I want to change my name, and run away to a deserted island, Cry myself to sleep, then sleep for an eternity. I want to scream, But I can't. I want to just blink, And things be different. I want to feel in control of my life, Independent. I want an unlimited supply of fuel, To travel across the country. But it doesn't matter what I want, Because life is what it is. Conform. Conform. Conform. I have to stop feeling, Stop wanting, Stop caring, Stop having my own thoughts. Otherwise, I'll be eaten alive, From the inside out.
