They all turn, their ears away A never ending social game, we play I can't give I can't give I can't give I can't give All I want is to share who I am They all turn their ears away All I try is to share who I am Apathy Killed the Artist Don't you be, an apathetic fool! I can't give I can't give I can't give I can't give I can't give I can't give

I guess I never want To be that person now Someone so insecure Afraid to my core The weight of my own mind Dancing cautiously The path in front of me Will it set me free? I am always feeling The constant pressure Of my peers To be someone I don't think I can be Who you want I need to be home To reset and grow I just needed Some more time To plan and deduct Maybe I will pluck up the courage To be like you So full of life You condescend me To the point of rage I only ask for Consideration Contest me if you will Pray on my emotions Try to tell me It's insignificant

Everything 04:03
I have Been here before I'm not afraid Convince yourself You're not to blame Run round in circles Here we go again and again and again Climb into that shell you always build Hide away, from everyone you love Fall again and don't let people see You're still here and it means everything to me I struggle more than you know I just tend to hide it I sometimes feel, I just need to go Here we go again and again and again

Hindsight 07:45
I look back now and honestly I'm not so bad I'm just someone Misunderstood! Thoughts of grandeur and fear of failure I only aim to please I guess I'll fail I may lose friends But those cretins are in the past! Regret is fuel, I know I have grown You should have known me back then... Living in a moment in the past Falling through I know it won't last Living in some silly game I don't know how to Not look back! A constant judging of my former self I feel insulted I know you can tell I'm not 18, I'm no perfect queen I just know what I want I hate who I am I dislike who I was I'm not the only one If you need an ear I am someone who will always be here! A sense of perspective Only comes with time A slap to the face, of this life It's good to look back with hindsight

Matt - Far from everyone I know I can't relate to you Dan - Feel the world or keep your heart alive Matt - I never considered myself an empath/someone who cares Dan - Hide away your mind will not survive Matt - Treat me as a victim Tell me what I want to hear Treat me as someone human Take away All of my fears! Don't tell me how I should feel about things you say Don't tell me now You don't agree and how I should Have empathy! Dan - Far from everyone you know We can't relate to you Matt - Feel the world or keep your heart alive I'd never considered you empath/someone who cares Matt - Hide away your mind will not survive Dan - Treat me as a victim Tell me what I want to hear Treat me as someone human Take away All of my fears! Don't tell me how I should feel about things you say Don't tell me now You don't agree and how I should Have empathy! Matt - It's okay, I won't be here For long I won't satisfy your ego I don't need to Dan - Why don't you ask me? How I am doing? Or who I aim to be? You're just selfish! That's who you are! Matt - Consider me I may not be All there So slow to See just who you are Dan - Continue this vindiction Addicted to self religion And someday That's all you will become Matt - Believe me! When I say, I aim to go so much further! Be more than I am Right now! Dan - Chance is finite Excite your own light Don't ask for my hand, my hand When so many extend. Matt - I have this thing Where it's like I can't see you Emotionally blind I only see broken glass behind Dan - You could be stronger You could be the empath Just lead by example And let the others wallow Matt - In who they are! Together - Don't tell me how I should feel about things you say Don't tell me now You don't agree and how I should Have empathy!

Tomorrow 08:40
It's been far too long Since I last broke my smile It's been too little time I refused to live my life Time to make up your mind Yesterday Is no longer here Just think about tomorrow Cry for the past and everyone who's gone Just think about tomorrow Yesterday Is no longer here Just think about tomorrow Cry for the past and everyone who's gone Just think about tomorrow I got too little time To waste it on you And I don't what to say Or who to say it to Tomorrow! I'm just talking to myself Over and over again With not a single soul, ever listening in It's okay to sometimes hate A friend taught me that Happy isn't the truth And neither are you Don't tell me I'm bad I just wanna feel and isolate myself It's no reflection on you I hate everyone In that sense your equal Your equal!

Night Light 04:57
Tell me I'm normal and now I am happy Tell me it's all gone away Give me the answer and don't you shoot me down I just want to sleep I'm always fighting and searching It's just to fill the time I don't know where I am going Everyone has their answer A silent truth I should hear A sharing of wisdom Spouted without any fear Tell me I'm normal and now I am happy Tell me it's all gone away Give me the answer and don't you shoot me down The night is all one week to me A need for routine will never suffice It just boxes me in And hurts my pride And I can't get away
