Lucid Feelings

Focus, that's what they keep preaching onto you
Hopeless, these dreams we have may never come true
Misguided by the path that we are told to take
Molded in the footprint of someone else's mistakes

Who do you turn to, who do you look to when you're down
Who do you worship
Who did you want to be when you were just a little kid
Tell me what moves you, tell me what makes you feel alive
How can it hurt you, how can it cut you deep inside
Maybe it's 'cause it brings all my demons to life
But it's all I've got

Pulling my hair out, scratching my eyes out, I can't live on like this
Stressing myself out, giving it my all but I'm starting to fall apart
I would cut myself open to show you the inside of who I really am
I wear my heart on my sleeve and I'm sure you would be glad to see it all end

Battered but not left for dead
I'm not bleeding out just yet
I could fake my own death and no one would care
Everything ends with nothing

This life isn't what it's supposed to be
All these fabricated dreams and suspicions consume me
Those lies that you were lead to believe
Self inflicting all your miseries, they won't go away

And did you ever care about what it meant to be
Just another drawing on the wall, another missing piece
Neglected and so overused, and it's plain to see
You lie to everybody else, with every word you breathe

Battered but not left for dead
I'm not bleeding out just yet
You swore I would never make it this far
Well, look at me now
