I'm in a dark place,
a place I've been many times before.
I won't be here for long though,
just have a few emotions I need to explore.

Monotony has brought me here,
and regret will take me back.
Anxiety is off in the distance,
waiting for morning to attack.

Too blinded by pleasure,
to worry about what's to come.
Too busy finding ways,
to make these emotions numb.

Where do I find you?
And when I get there what do I say?
Have you been looking for me too?
Do you know that I'm on my way?

A surplus of questions,
and a shortage of replies.
With each day that passes,
my sadness gets harder to disguise.

But I must keep looking,
even if I don't comprehend.
Cause like any good fairy tale,
the happy part doesn't come until the end.

If only my feelings could speak,
I know you'd love to hear what they have to say.

You'd learn about why when our paths meet,
I'm never the first to look away.

You'd realize I don't need much in this world,
just a simple equation that equals two.

Cause the only thing I really need,
is to know what it's like to be loved by you.

I turn to the dark,
welcome back home.
Come one come all,
please enjoy the show.

We're clear for takeoff,
no more worries around.
Lose the landing gear,
I'm not comin back down.

The light's still callin,
"wait up, no don't go"
"you're not clear for takeoff,
someone cancel this show."

But its too late for me now,
done lookin for stop signs.
Maybe it was the shots that did it,
or perhaps the pills and all the lines.

Determined to find that feeling,
that I felt way back when.
That moment when everything made sense,
and all my worries seemed to end.

Fueled by pleasure,
so young and so free.
**** your long winded toast,
this next ones to me.

So hold'em up high,
lets live for this moment.
Tomorrow's not guaranteed,
but I'm gonna live like I know it.

I'd love to talk, but can't seem to find anyone that would love to listen.

I'd love to hang out, but all the other lonely people seem to be missin.

I'm giving out smiles, and getting back awkward looks in exchange.

All I can do is keep telling myself that things are bound to change.

Determined to find an opening, in one of these social spheres.

While I wander around aimlessly, holding up this head full of tears.

Please stay open eyes
for I’m not ready for this to be the day,
when everything I’ve ever known suddenly fades away.

Please stay open eyes
for my work here has only begun
I’m finally starting to realize
just how special my life has become.

Please stay open eyes
for I can’t help but fear the unknown,
the path that every living creature must someday walk alone.

Please stay open eyes
If only long enough for me to say
“Don’t cry for me” to my loved ones, and then we can be on our way.
