S Everything Up

Just breathe. Nothing is real
Don't let me feel.
It's easier to pretend to be strong. 
One day that strength will come along.

The clock's been ticking. Time flying past. 
The present never feels true. 
The future is without you. 
Following me through. 
Is solitude. 
Shadow of my life. 
Solitude. 

Stop thinking so much. 
It s everything up. 
Stop drinking so much.
It s me up. 

When I go away. 
Don't remember my face. 
A distant different world. 
I will leave no trace. 
Nobody knew me anyway.

I want to turn off my mind. 
Just for tonight. 
Stop thinking so much. 
It s everything up...
