The walk is long, but my drink is iced
Drowning to the hands of my own device
With time to **** on my walk tonight
I hope my music blocks out the light
A lifetime of wandering and no path to follow
My inner self I seem to swallow

I feel like a ghost
Am I even here?
If I said a word
Would YOU even hear?
Learning magic tricks
Watch me disappear
Had your chance to find me
Now I'm living in your head

Just a memory
Do you remember me?
I remember you were stealing all my empathy
Said that you want change
Change is what I'll do
I do it for me
I wasn't good enough for YOU

Spread my wings so I can fly I'm not done exploring
Every time I reach new heights when I'm only soaring
Retrace the skyline for the things I've missed
Eyes get blurry peering through the mist
Skin golden brown I stay sun kissed

This year I found some inner peace
Holding onto my sanity if only a piece
Never smile but always say cheese

Smiling more than ever is my new past time
Thanks to the friends who are my family
It feels like a crime to hide the way they help me shine

So bright, I remember I can see in the dark
My paths been illuminated but only about 6 feet
Enough to take a few steps and see where it takes me

I wanted to be taken away to a place I've never been
But I dream of those places and it drives me insane
That it took me this long to switch lanes

Missed a few exits along the way but never looked back
Each new path led me to infinity
and beyond this boxed vicinity
I get back on track

Take me away take me away take me away
I need the time I need the space I need the change
Holding me back slowing the pace I've gone insane
Stuck in a loop I wait my turn I play the game
