Slip

I don't need you
But you need me
And now, that I
Finally see

My dreams are slipping away
Everyday I awake
Wondering
Is it too late?

For so many years I've tried
To take what was in my mind
And turn the page, to a brighter side

And now I finally say
That there's more to me than there is to you
I don't need you but you need me
I'm trapped in your shadows

My dreams intervene
With reality before me
Will I ever be at peace?

Was this what you had in mind?
Insecure until the day I die
Will I ever truly feel alive?

Echoes become a familiar sound
Bouncing around in a hollow body

Words I can't seem to get out
Are floating around inside my demented mind
I am losing my fucking mind

I should've done better
You should've done better
As I watch it slip through my fingers
Your goals, your dreams, your everything
This is all too familiar

And now I finally say
That there's more to me than there is to you
I don't need you but you need me
I'm trapped in your shadows

I lost myself
For a moment I was alright

I lost myself
Sitting alone I feel my mind slip
I'm scared I'll never amount to anything
Is it worth my time
To find what's left inside
To piece together remnants of my life
