lyrics

The daze of the weak are they numbered
I am counting my blessings again
My words worth nothing are falling
Right off THE END of my pen
The bars are projected
I stand unprotected
My thoughts are rejected
AM I THE MACHINE?

Is my stupor so stupid
Is it hard on my mind
Am I one of the many
Or just being kind
Not scared of my reflection
Not bothered by your rejection
Immune to your infection
Embracing imperfection

Thoughts are now racing
I’m fighting the pain
Sleepless not hopeless
And feeling insane
And feeling insane

I tear at the tears
That well in my eyes
The hurt is not bitter
It’s not a surprise
I’ve scratched off the surface
I no longer hide
Its real love I’m seeking
And not foolish pride
I know I am selfish
I wanted desire
You granted me passion
And now I’m on fire

Now I’m on fire.

Not callous, full of passion
Loving life is out of fashion
I’ve been here all along
I never went away

I stare at the stairs
I try to ascend
My heart full of passion
I will not pretend
My hands they are shaking
The dust from my heart
Have I gone full circle?
I’m back at the start
Now I feel helpless
My heart starts to race
I know deep inside
That this is my place.

This is my place.

I never went away.
