Where am I tonight
Sitting anxiously on the couch
Staring at the blank photos on the shelves
Lost in the black holes of my mind
I knew it all along
I'd had to rewrite it all
My childhood
All the memories
Now I'm no one. No one at all
It's almost midnight
Still no messages on my phone
I guess it's over now
All the pain is gone I try to tell myself
Reassurance my insurance so blind
You and I. Me and everyone it's cruel
I'm just a man caught up in this world
Tormented by the outcome
The waves crash like thunder
Against my bow
How much longer now
Until I'm swallowed by this storm
When will the sunshine peak through
It doesn't appear to be letting up soon
Biceps, forearms, wrists and fingers
Burning helpless. Gruelling
Crying tears of blood I sweat no more
Watch my body float expired
At peace within the swell
Sitting anxiously on the couch
Staring at the blank photos on the shelves
Lost in the black holes of my mind
I knew it all along
I'd had to rewrite it all
My childhood
All the memories
Now I'm no one. No one at all
It's almost midnight
Still no messages on my phone
I guess it's over now
All the pain is gone I try to tell myself
Reassurance my insurance so blind
You and I. Me and everyone it's cruel
I'm just a man caught up in this world
Tormented by the outcome
The waves crash like thunder
Against my bow
How much longer now
Until I'm swallowed by this storm
When will the sunshine peak through
It doesn't appear to be letting up soon
Biceps, forearms, wrists and fingers
Burning helpless. Gruelling
Crying tears of blood I sweat no more
Watch my body float expired
At peace within the swell
