Creep

This whole thing is just a lie I thought I'd be different if I tried This boredom is just a state of mind But at least it keeps me safe when I hide Somewhere I could try to avoid this pain But its still killing me just the same I sit and wonder what my life could have been My eyes begin to bleed as I find myself back here again Now that I fear that this feeling is overcoming my only hope again Now that I feel that this fear is only the calm before the storm begins Lowering myself to lost My thoughts have been wandering for days Too tired to sleep So just try to stay awake As I sit here and think That I am just a Creep But am I all that I will ever be? Shadows dance accross the room Leading me to a window down the hall A voice from deep inside me echoes As if my thoughts are trapped within these walls Now that my calm is lost it's warning time for the storm to begin Now that my fear has cost me everything that I would hope to find love in again I will undo - Everything I am connected to Watch it slip away Fade away With these tired eyes I will see it through Shed this dead skin and find life in new As You begin changing me Everything that I have made of me
