What do I do to ignore them behind me
Do I follow my instincts blindly?
Do I hide my pride/ from these bad dreams
And give it to sad thoughts that are maddening
Do I? Sit here and try to stand it?
Or do/ I try to catch them red- handed?
dO I trust some and get fooled by phoniness?
Or do I trust nobody and live in lonliness?
Because I can’t hold on / when I’m stretched so thin
I make the right moves but im lost within
I put on my daily façade but then
I just end up getting hurt again
By myself (MYSELF)
I ask why but in my mind
I find I can’t rely on myself
I can’t hold on
( to what I want when I’m stretched so thin)
its all to much to take in
I can’t hold on
( to everything watching everything spin)
with thoughts of failure sinking in
if I / turn back I’m defenseless
and to go blindly seems senseless
if I hide my pride and let it all go on/ then they’ll
take from me till everything id gone
If I let them go I’ll be out done
But if I try to catch them I’ll be outrun
If I’m killed by the questions like a cancer
Then I’ll be buried in the silence of the answer
(by myself)
how do you think/ I’ve lost so much
I’m so afraid/ I’m out of touch
How do you expect/ I will know what to do
When all I know is what you tell me to
Don’t you know
I can’t tell you how to make it go
No matter what I do how hard I try
I can’t seem to convince myself why
I’m stuck on the outside
