Different Perspective

Hair is slick and greasy, haven't showered in three days Eyes stare into the sunset wandering in a fabricated haze The only thing you have control of, is the steering wheel Grasp the remainder of it hard, and forget what it's like to feel Turn on the ac, as sweat drips down your brow The baby starts to scream, starting the headache now Wonder were it all went wrong, when you've been at the wheel Blame the direction on someone else, when you decided to steer I'm peering through your window, on the outside looking in I feel like I know you, but I'm a stranger then again Too close to your reality, picture lost inside a frame Stepping into your world, looking in through it's pane Numbness has fallen over you, like heavy rain on the road Your vessel lost traction, as you let life take control There was a time when happiness, dried up these simple things Guardian angel tries to catch up, not so fast on broken wings Your smile shone through the fog, lit up the dim of night Your presence on this journey, ended someone's plight Those days have passed you by so quick, the memories you thought you'd never miss In your young, dumb stupor you took it all for granted I'm peering through your window, on the outside looking in I feel like I know you, but I'm a stranger then again Too close to your reality, picture lost inside a frame Stepping into your world, looking in through it's pane Hair is slick and greasy, haven't showered in three damn days Tried to turn this all around, but in the right lane you stayed Same old song and dance, listen to it on repeat To the people looking in your window, who are you trying to deceive?
