Cleaning Up
I reach out to the skies of blue
To stay there for the rest of time
My lies have always seemed so true
Constructed life to perfect crime
Right now
I forget which part I play
I loose control of what I say
Right now
My spirit seems to drift away
And all my actions look so gay
I run through fields of doors
Lost
With millions of keys right in my pocket,
I find no lock, even with force
The doors all stay completely blocked
And thoughts fall down into my head
As I lie crying in my bed
Right now
I think of what I have had
And see what I have lost instead
I dig myself into the earth
To stay there ‘till the end of days
I still regret my day of birth
And spoiled my life in many ways
The sun is shining through my eyes
I give no sh** ‘bout all these lies
My deepest passions start to rise
And fight until apathy dies
- But words still blow -
And can’t you see
that we’re just trying
to be
not what we seem
to be
The decay starts in our heads
Our body takes more time to go
The conflict starts in our heads
Our body takes more time to know
- But words still blow -
