Somewhere I Belong

My last mistake Was thinking I was the king In a world where my thoughts And words mean nothing Stoked the flames Of standard teenage lust While the statue of my life Began to rot and rust Swept off my feet By the knife to my throat Slumped on the floor Groaning out my lone note Don't wanna lose The last semblance of control in my life Like I'm just a puppet Just a slave to the strife Hand me the reigns To all my pain So I can make it through the rain I need to grasp onto what's left of my own life Hand me the reigns To all this pain I can't see past the rain I wanna go back home buried deep inside your arms Somewhere I belong Used the man The needle clasped in my hand Signified the end long ago When I knew it was banned A secret fix I kept shooting it in When I told everyone that I wouldn't even begin She saw the scars I knew I shattered her trust And every pillar that we built Began to rust Down on the floor Bloodied and alone And the fault is my own Yes, the fault is my own Hand me the reigns To all my pain So I can make it through the rain I need to grasp onto what's left of my own life Hand me the reigns To all this pain I can't see past the rain I wanna go back home buried deep inside your arms Somewhere I belong Now, the needle breaks Glass and metal strewn across the floor I wish I'd quit before I watched my lover walk right out the door Will I make it right? Will I atone for my sins that claimed my life? I will find a way I'll cleanse my soul today
