lyrics

I’ve been searching for answers in every corner of this cluttered mind
I’ve retraced my steps again and again to find out where I strayed
I’m just trying to live a normal life
But today, like many others, I am without understanding
There is no explanation only hesitation
And to write on paper is the only way out

Another story, another page, another day I have to wait
To figure out why I make all of these mistakes
I can’t decide no, I can’t decide
I can’t decide if this all takes time
I guess I’ll never know

I keep questioning my narrative
And I’m starting to believe I’m just skeptical of my character
And I search to no avail
I pour all my time into finding the reasons why
I fight so hard to be right
Because I am a mirror of my own mistakes
And approval of anything I try is hard to come by
Because trying to manifest a reason why I’m like this
So broken, is impossible
And trying to match myself with such unsuitable words
With lungs of limited elegance is an exhausting process
That I fear I will never see the end of

This could all be meaningless

Can you tell me the truth
Can you give me one universal rule to follow
One small sentiment to tell me who I am supposed to be
Because maybe the world is at fault
Or maybe it’s just me
Can you show me how to calm the seas
How to bring me peace

It rained on the way back home
(what could sore this body’s sore bones)
The windshield was streaked and I couldn’t see the road
(with fear as constant as a metronome)
I thought oh god, I’m terrified of my own mind
(on the verge of insanity, there’s no merging in front of me)
Of getting stuck and wasting my time
(I’m on the edge)
And so terrified to fail, the rain turns to hail

I’ll ride this out
(and I’ll just ride this out)
The ice resonates on my roof in time
(but I smile despite the ugly skies)
And with the pounding in my ears
I leave this storm behind
