Lets get this straight,
There never was a plan to go on.
The only thing you said was try and stay awake.
I hope this makes sense,
and I hope this makes your fucking skin crawl,
And leaves unbearable images trapped inside your head.
I'm wearing thin.
It's just another night that I can't think straight,
I always end up feeling sorry for myself,
I've spent my whole life behind window panes.
Hoping that watching real life,
Would help me feel like I'm alive.
Although I'm wrong,
I still fucking try.
So give me a break.
They never asked for my opinion.
And though I give and give, I always seem to take.
A distempered mess,
A man who built his walls with reason,
A man who swore to himself he would never rest.
So stay awake.
Just stay awake.
