These tired eyes
And these sleepless nights
Are continuous inside my mind.
So I take deep breaths
And I count my steps
And I pray I don't fall over.
So I keep myself up against the wall
Cause you'll never know how hard you'll fall
And I tell myself everyday
It will get better, but it just wont go away..
They're in my head, the things I dread
They got me down, they got me stalling.
This weight wont shed, It's made of lead
Slowing me down, I'm scared of falling.
Water pouring in, fighting to swim
Low self esteem, I'm slowly drowning
It's hard to win, I'm wearing thin
The future seems unpleasant sounding.
Afraid to turn my back
Or steep through the cracks
It's gets hard to tell who to trust
Is there a path to choose?
Or was I born to lose?
I need confidence in my direction.
Am I a pessimist for feeling small?
Every mountain side is too damn tall
Any blue I see turns to grey
Will it get better?
Will it ever go away?
They're in my head, the things I dread
They got me down, they got me stalling.
This weight wont shed, It's made of lead
Slowing me down, I'm scared of falling.
Water pouring in, fighting to swim
Low self esteem, I'm slowly drowning
It's hard to win, I'm wearing thin
The future seems unpleasant sounding.
Cause every time I run or hide
I'm outfaced by a black cats eyes
Cause every time I look down low
I shiver at the thought of lost control
Cause every time I run or hide
I'm outfaced by a black cats eyes
Cause every time I look down low
I shiver at the thought of losing all control..
They're in my head, the things I dread
They got me down, they got me stalling.
This weight wont shed, It's made of lead
Slowing me down, I'm scared of falling.
Water pouring in, fighting to swim
Low self esteem, I'm slowly drowning
It's hard to win, I'm wearing thin
The future seems unpleasant sounding.
