I've been away, a little while, sometimes I just can't help myself
When my mind's running wild, I seem to lose grip on reality
And I try to disregard the crazy things the voices tell me to do
But it's no use
I tried to own it, write songs about it
Believe me, I've tried; in the end, I needed to breathe
Find inspiration, some kind of purpose
To take a second to face what makes me me
♪
All I needed was the last thing I wanted
To sit alone in a room and say it all out loud
Every moment, every second, every trespass
Every awful thing, every broken dream
A couple years back and forth with myself in a cage
Banging my head 'gainst the walls, trying to put words on a page
All I needed was the last thing I wanted
To sit alone in a room, alone in a room
Seen the world a couple times, tried to cure the ache with absence
But that hole was still a hole, and my mind keep playing tricks on me
Feeling older every day, took everything I had to not crash and burn
But I'm starting to learn
Sometimes I'll fall down, sometimes I'll lose hope
But those days will be few if I keep my feet on the ground
I might be lonely, but I ain't alone here
So I keep pushing the limits of what makes me me
