Tried so hard to reach my goals

But this fire is runnin’ out of coal,

Feelin’ lost, my great plan foiled

It’s all too much; it’s takin’ its toll

 

The pain sears through me

Cutting me up and preventin’ me

From being who I aim to be,

Nothing left but failure for me,

It seems success is out of my reach

 

If you ain’t prepared you’ll be a wash-out,

Inspiration don’t just pop-out,

They say drugs are a cliche cop-out

But what do they know?

They’re all the same though:

 

Prayin’ to the money makes their backs bow low,

I write my muse; I won’t worship those foes

The tears streak faster than befo’

Inside I’m suffocatin’ for sure

What happened to me? (Oh no Oh no)

 

I’m still willin’, I’m still feelin’

‘motions in chaos n you hear me flailin’

Do you think that I am just leeching?

I’m not; out for your help I’ll reach

 

Father, Father, Father help me

Open my eyes baby please

‘Cause I need you to save me from this

 

Why don’t I care?

Why won’t I care?

Why can’t I care?

Care no more, no more, no more!

 

Everything’s anew, my life has changed,

My life is strange; but still there’s pain

If ambition is so good, so right,

Then why am I so close to givin’ up on life?

 

I am the dregs of the bottle,

Burning out on my full throttle,

The picture’s faded and mottled,

Into the darkness my life’s been shuttled

In the corner I huddle

 

Drums pound on my failing heart,

Countless decisions led me to this position,

Lost pieces of me like horcruxes,

Only alcohol left now in my clutches

 

The truth I’ve hidden, swept beneath the rug,

Believe I’ll  hide it n I’ll see love

In your eyes (yeah) come on come on (I don’t know)

Where’s the real you (yeah)

Where are you baby (yeah)
