Rise

Wish I could pull my head out from these clouds
and lay my soul to rest
but I'm not sure which way would be best
How can I rid these thoughts of failure from my head?
how can I rise in the morning and get my ass out of bed?
Fear of life stops myself from living
I am not alone but I feel lonely
Growing old but not growing up
These four walls closing around me
Free my mind to free my soul
My subconscious bleeds into my reality
plug the leaks to save my sanity
