I'm Not There

I feel your eyes on me
Hear your voices
Speaking my name
Doubt sinks in

Those daggers dig so deep man
So deep, I can't explain
What happened to that thick skin?
That kept my sanity in

Now I'm just wasting away
Bright eyes fading fast
I am always at my ends
Always at my ends

So when did I
Make the time
To dig a ditch so big
That oceans surround me?

That's how far I feel
From reality
You might look at me and think
He's just not there

He's just not there
He's just not there
He's just not there
He's just not there

I stare at myself
Staring at you
And I just don't care
Because I'm not there
No

I'm miles away
An ocean away
For all of those lost inside
You know the true power of your mind

That the nightmare is when you're awake
And sleep is the only escape
The world is cold
And every crowded street you are alone

Blinded by eyes and judging thoughts
Silenced by other's words
The world is cold
And every crowded street you are alone

While others fight for attention
And fight for the centre stage
We slip back
We fade away

While others fight for attention
And fight for the centre stage
We slip back
We fade away

And so we fight
And we win
