Why am I different
Why am I here
I want to wake up
till my head is clear

It hurts when your words
cut my heart like this blade
If I cut a little deeper
this pain will fade

I wish I could find
a way to quiet the noise
bang my head on the pavement
till I lose my voice

Stop trying to dig
your way into this shell
There's nothing to find
but a dried up well

I just want some peace
a way out of this place
cuz I am too loaded
like this gun in my face.
