Life

Open up the cover to the book of my story
Filled with anything from cute to gory
Try to read but it seems very boring
Well I guess that's just my life

Fall asleep at night and I wake in the morning
Try to call me and I'll be ignoring
Any call, from anywhere, I'm probably mourning
Well I guess that's just my life.

But the one thing, that bothers me
Is something called hypocrisy
Saying one thing and doing another
Is doing wrong by your brother
Looking down on people just like me
Just isn't right, probably not healthy
So take this moment to start a new
Consider this a message from me to you

Half way through my book and we're almost done
Shelling out hope like it's a gun
Shooting up everything, and everyone
Well I guess that's just my life.

Well I close my book and I start to breathe
Everything closes in on me
Open my mouth but I can't scream
Well I guess that's just my life

Darkness in a smile, but no one can tell
My conscience monotone, like a speak-n-spell
My mind a cage, my personal hell
Well I guess that's just my life

I'm waiting for you, will you find me
Locked in this cage, you have the key
Wanting to be something, wanting to be free

Open up my mind and change my story
So I grab my book, and i grab my quill
Open up the cover, dip it in the ink well
Words appear that I've never seen
Perhaps my story isn't limited to me
But to everyone who feels just the same
Feeling like the next day will be just as lame
Ripping out their hair trying to stay sane
Until one day they crash the plane
For no longer do they want to hide, spending every day alone inside
Pretending that everything will be alright
But crying themselves to sleep at night
Well I guess that's just our lives

End of the story if you couldn't tell
It's been awesome, it's been swell
But remember this, remember it well
The end of a story, rings a new bell
For someone else to come in, and tell their tale
Well I guess that's just life.
