Out of My Head
Dont you ever wonder
Just what life can be
If only you knew the answer
How easy it might seem
You see, we are all prisoners
stuck hopelessly inside our own skin
we never know if what we know
is worth the keeping in
how can we be who we are
if who we are is not
we are all what weve created
in hopes of being not
just another person
in an even more hopeless world
our thoughts become our passions
and passions are easily lost
to who we know and what they know
we affect our every thought
a war of who who is better
a war of endless hope
a war to try to figure out
if we are what we have hoped
so tell me this with honesty
and tell me this to see
if you are you and i am me
and we become what we cant be
then how are we to live?
