Fantastic Emotions

As I lay outside gazing at the stars 
My emotions flare up and there tearing me apart
Trying to avoid laying in the dark

My daily life is moving really fast
Sometimes I have to stop and really ask
What is my earthly task
I try really hard to take a righteous path
I'm always trying to not live in the past
I feel like I'm living behind a scary mask

Is life really all that it's cut out to be
Or am I blind I hope that I can see
This is something that I really really need

The stars are full of beauty and lots of hope 
Or I'm I sliding down a fast slippery slope
Sometimes I think this is all a joke

The world is massive and full of magic
You have to stop and think that it really is fantastic
Why does everything thing got to be so dramatic

Floating in the middle of a giant black hole 
I just want to know what's going on in this reality show
I'm always trying to just go with the flow

All of the secrets the pain and the lies 
Things are messed up, that's something we can't deny
All I want to do is to try and feel alive
I'm always trying to not over analyze

I find it's hard to turn my brain off
Am I fragile or really really soft
I feel dirty and completely unwashed

I just want to thank God for all of his gifts 
And just a little bit of help so we can fix all of this
There's got to be a final plot to this earthly twist
Sometimes I feel like like he don't exist

The pain and the suffering that is all going on 
I have a feeling that something is really really wrong
Sorry I had to write this depressing song
