No looking back

All the days seem to blend into one  
Leaving me empty
confused and thinking  

How many days have passed by  
Without me living  

Just masking the pain with whatever I can  

I've been numb so long I'm not even a man  

Just a lost soul in a skin bag full of bones and brains
 
Trapped in this flesh cage  
Unable to ascend peacefully  

Is there any place I can be me
Be truly free  

Suicide seems the only way out  
To silence the demons ending my pain

Something has to change  
I gotta take a chance  

I only have 2 dreams left  
What if I fail at both of them
 
Then what do I have to hold onto  
There will be nothing left
 
I'm scared to progress  
For fear of fucking it up

But I can't stay here numb and depressed  

I gotta move on and hope for the best  

Searching for happiness something I missed  

I only have 2 dreams left  
I have a chance  

And Once I move forward  
I can never look back
