I need to be in the 10 places at once
But I can’t even be in 1
How’s that for a paradox
How am I supposed to release myself
When I’m the one holding me back
The illusion is to complicated
There’s nothing to talk about
Riding the thin line between breaking even and falling into the abyss
Same difference
Supposed to meet you tomorrow
Secretly hoping that you’re late
Or maybe you just won’t show
Now that’s a perfect date
I’d rather reminisce on my own
Reflect all by myself
Trying to figure out what you did to me
Because you’re all I write about
And I don’t even know who you are
Or your true whereabouts
Your name always escapes me
I don’t know if you exist
The words ruin my day
Like I woke up on my bad side
They say misery is company
Well then I’ve got alot friends
In the sandbox of my subconscious
Digging up what’s buried down within
Tormented by my mind & soul
Both are out of line again
I’m just waiting for the daylight
For this nightmare just to end
To stop the darkness of this never ending night
For the chance to begin again
I just want to rest in peace
But I can’t fall asleep
Decisions and failures
Haunt me like a ghost
They don’t let me forget
All the things I regret the most
They always find a way in
But never see themselves out
They close the door and my soul is sad
Spontaneous trips back to the bottom
Looking for what I used to have
Or if there’s anything down there that I’m missing
Everything I do feels so wrong
All that I say doesn’t feel right
All the progress feels like nothing
The accomplishments are slight
The paradox that I’m living in
The places I’m supposed to be
The 1 place I cannot be in
And the 10 I need to be
Everything seems like nothing
And nothing is actually all
The further you make it to the top
The further that you fall
