It's All In My Head

It's all in my head
It's all in my head
It's all in my head
It's all in my head

Well, my ceiling's my wall and my wall is too bright
I can't remember the plan and everyday is a fight
I'm tired of being sick, I'm sick of being down
I'm down on myself and I'm tired of this frown
I never asked to be myself, but I'm glad I am
And If the world can't take me then why give a damn?
I'd rather die young than live old and alone
I'd rather be myself than be another clone

I've lost what? My mind you say?
I don't see how, all I want is play
But I can't play anymore, I'm too far gone
It's dusk here when it should be dawn

Well I was a razor and love got cut
I guess I had it coming, it sucks, but
It doesn't make me sad, I guess it's kinda bad
I'd rather it be them than me, I'm talking 'bout sad
So I told them I'd stop it but I lie too well
And all I've thought about is why my heaven is hell
I won't lie again, this'll be the hardest test
And If I lie twice I think I'll follow the rest

I've lost what? My mind you say?
I don't see how, all I want is play
But I can't play anymore, I'm too far gone
It's dusk here when it should be dawn

So it's beginning, but it's over it seems
I don't even think, I just try to daydream
I want the dreams to stay forever
But for that I guess I'd have to be clever
I say I have plans but I plan on nothing
Being this easy is ok, but it's not something
I didn't do enough, I did what I could but
I'm doing what I want not doing what I should

I've lost what? My mind you say?
I don't see how, all I want is play
But I can't play anymore, I'm too far gone
It's dusk here when it should be dawn
So I think I'll think it over in my bed
And I'll try to remember that it's all in my head
It's all in my head
It's all in my head
It's all in my head
It's all in my head

EXCELLENT POEM!!! I wish that you weren't mad at me and didn't block me from writing you but I now see that you do not like me and have no desire for me to talk to you anymore so you will get your wish I won't talk to you ever again. . . And again I'm REALLY TRUELY sorry. . .
