I want to say
Something worth saying
I want to make sure my time ain't wasted
I want to feel
Connected, breathing, reckless, taken
Let me believe that I'm not vacant
I'm not vacant
But I'm the king of loathing
Self absorbed like the culture that bore me
Blinded, but I'm undone
Perfection got the best of me
Until I stepped away for me
So let me sing, let me speak, let me say my mind
And in time
Maybe I'll best the voices in my head
That bash the words that I've said
Held in place by design
I'm just a little bit low trying to beat myself
And a little bit tired of the cards I'm dealt
Held in place by my mind
Inside, inside
And I wanna know
I want to believe
In the words that I write
Show me the lines that make us incomparable
Chastise my thoughts and make us seem separable
Bottle the fear, I know you feel it too
Communicate, and let it flow through you
You're not barren
You're not debris
You're not bound for tragedy
You're not bound for tragedy
Held in place by design
I'm just a little bit low trying to beat myself
And a little bit tired of the cards I'm dealt
Held in place by my mind
Inside, inside
And I wanna know
I want to believe in the words that I write
(I want to believe in the words that I write)
And while we sleep above our graves
I'm thankful for the words that I have left to say
They're just for me
Am I free
The view from the stage sees that I've grown up
And I can change, or I'll remain
But I can't keep living with these empty songs
For too long
Am I gone?
The view from the stage sees that I've grown up
And I can change, or I'll remain
But I can't keep living with these empty songs
I need to change
I need to change
