I can’t think of things like a cottage, or like a getaway.
I’ll be honest because I don’t think I think the way that I used to.
I don’t think I think the way that you do.
My eyes are tired and they are closing from dirty habits I’m now exposing.
I just wish I could get out of here.
I just wish I could get out.
Every day I struggle with the best and worst of me.
In the face of doubt I find that everything is where it should be.
It’s just me inside my head.
It’s just me.
I won’t admit that I’m dead.
Now I think of things, and how they played out.
Why it came to this.
Why did I take this risk.
This is the way I thought a good book turned out.
This is a book with the pages missing.
What’s it about.
There’s no finale. There is no closure.
I feel this darkness.
“It”, getting closer.
I just wish I could get out of here.
I just wish I could get out.
Every day I struggle with the best and worst of me.
In the face of doubt I find that everything is where it should be.
It’s just me inside my head.
It’s just me.
I won’t admit that I’m dead.
