Drown it out.
Let the music... drown it out
Forget.
Hear only the never-ending bass...
Self-doubt and fear - there's no room here.
Don't stop - Keep it going.
Drown it out.
This isn't isn't how I dreamed it would be
I live only for the moments you're here
For the moments I forget
The times I'm carefree
I was just beginning
Learning how to be myself
When we brought another life to be
One that depends mostly on me.
I'm drained, sucked dry
I have to be this person I don't know
Has life passed me by?
I've left myself behind.
"We're on our way up," you say
I hold on to that
But many times I feel
I can't go up - Its not my life
Would I even belong, up there?
Up seems uncharted territory
Unknown, beyond me
Almost unreachable
Would those cold hands
Stop pulling me down
Would these dark voices fade
If I made it up far enough?
Can I outrun them,
Can I outreach them?
Will I always have to fight them?
Will they always be here?
Drown it out.
Let the music... drown it out
Forget.
Hear only the never-ending bass...
Self-doubt and fear - there's no room here.
Don't stop - Keep it going.
Drown it out.
Wow, re-reading this brings up so much emotion I just want to cry. On to happier things :)
