Trying To Learn the Years I'Ve Known

I wil have to pull myself away.
I need a little time to be myself.
I'm going to have to learn the years I've 
known.
Taking myself out of the show,
but I'm always going to live on stage.
Wanting to tell you where I've been,
but still I never know.

I've been pulling myself out of this,
trying to learn these years I've known.
Barreling down this fateful road.
I don't know how to live.
I wish I could expect the better,though 
these clouds produce some trying 
weather.
Escaping breaths in and out I'm shown.
I'm hearing sounds I don't remember
trying to learn the years I've known.
