[Intro]:
I woke up this morning and just wasn't feeling right
Didn't know what to do so I sat down to write
This is what I came up with
[Verse]:
Feelin’ different than most: just like I’m in the wrong
I can’t handle conversations so I gotta write these songs
I’m tired of the nights where I couldn’t be strong
I let my mind find some places where it doesn’t belong
I wish that you could see all of the things I cherish most
Like the time we watched the sun fade away on the coast
I know I’m sick in the head, I got a resident ghost
Just to fill my thoughts with sadness til I might overdose
Lately I’ve been feelin’ vacant got some acreage for sale
If it seems that I’m not home I prolly went off the rails
I’m destructive to myself and you know all that entails
I’m just hoping that this deadly ship has opened its sails
Let me drift off to the unknown with nothing in sight
Get more emotional from movies than true events in my life
I teleport to a dimension where everything is right
And I can finally feel tears fall from my eyes
Thank you for advice but I really need action
The words don’t last long like amounts of a fraction
The grip I got on life seems to keep losing traction
Need to see another angle like I’m using refraction
What’s the point of playing games when I’m gambling myself
I’m so tired of these nights that take a toll on my health
But then the days are even worse keep on stacking like wealth
Under a pile I can’t defeat think I might need some help
Feeling hopeless tryna find out if this life is worth living
Waking up every morning feeling down is a given
I haven’t smiled much lately dark clouds have arisen
I've been stuck for so long like a car that isn’t driven
Don’t know what’s in my head but I don’t think that it’s good
Every time I open up I fear I’m misunderstood
I don’t really fit in but I don’t wish that I would
I wanna put out these fires but I’m made out of wood
I should never be allowed to drive alone in the night
That’s when my mind begins to wander stop checking the lights
Gotta feeling that I’ll never know the purpose of life
Got a lantern with no oil lookin dim instead of bright
I don’t know what’s going on but I don’t wanna fall asleep
Nightmares every night so much sweat in my sheets
When I awake then reality just seems to repeat
The same terrors that exist instead of calculated sheep
Unaware of my quest or what my search is looking for
But I’ve been on it for so long there’s not much more to explore
Dr. Jones with no direction all these snakes on the floor
Got missed calls from all the numbers I’ve just simply ignored
I’m such a shell of myself and only come out in the bars
Imprisoned by my mind somebody take me to Mars
Cause I just need an escape from seeing all of the stars
They’ll never miss me when I’m gone but this song could be ours
I woke up this morning and just wasn't feeling right
Didn't know what to do so I sat down to write
This is what I came up with
