Perception Projected

The only difference between
The living and the dead
The living have all of these
Thoughts inside their heads
But I envy them
'Cause I am not the same
The thoughts are shot
While their running through my brain

I've got
A love hate relationship with my mind
I try to care more
For those I leave behind

I'd like to say
That I don't care
That I don't mind
That I'm alright

The man is gone
And she puts the kids to bed
Lights go out
And darkness fills my head
Dreams come back
Of what once was
Looking out the window
I am dreaming of

My best friend
That's getting put down
If I don't get up
Then just let me drown

I'd like to say
That I don't care
That I don't mind
That I'm alright

I'm alright
I'm alright

My perception projects itself
Onto you
Like a movie screen
That I'm living through

I don't feel old yet
But I know one thing's true
When I grow up
I don't wanna be you!

So I won't say
That I don't care
That I don't mind
Or that I'm alright
