I have this voice in my brain Thats starting to sway I look back at all the faces that have come and gone And I wonder has it all been worth it? I suppose a childhood you were thrown out of isnt a childhood at all Watching them, like I wasn't even there The stolen innocence isnt really fair But what could I do, I had to be there The echoing in the night, the shovel against the door Or maybe it was my pet that got shot from eating from the floor But that's just an excuse I suppose... I think back to all of you It's a  really healthy thing to do Don't get me wrong im happy you all made it through I just wonder what else I could do You escaped the storm the rumbling quake But im scared I'll do it again for God's sake I stay here floating in this stagnation I'm so ******* scared,I understand my abrasions I can see the light in all your eyes, A light thats there now, like clouds appearing in dark blue skies I thought i would have moved by now A train floating on water, dragging the horizon Always running in place I was never someone to look up too But what could I do? I was so lost inside the construction of my mind Always to scared to look because of what I might find An ocean of emotion gets lost at sea With no shoreline left to remember me
