Where did I lose my sense of purpose?
It seems like I've been wandering this path for ages
Made brick by brick, stone after stone
It's something I've learned to walk alone
Pages of meaningless words provoked by my failure to see
That maybe there's something waiting out there
Waiting at the end of this path that I laid out before me
And sometimes I just want to go back home
Not back to that place where for so long I've felt alone
That old country road that still seems to hold a place
Tightly laced in my very soul, Pack my suitcase
I'm coming home
And with a past that seems to be riddled with sin
All I can think about is what things where like back then
Who was the man in the mirror? Brought down to a meer child again
They break you down and try to build you back up to be the man
That they tried so hard to make us all run in fear from
And for so long all I could do is just stand there
And tell myself 'this just isn't me! '
I just want to find a way back to how things used to be
I can't help but feel like the way I've been living this whole time
Is slowly going to become the death of me
I'm on the ceiling
I'm on the floor
I'm at the window
I'm at the door
And I just keep coming back for more, for more
I'm stuck in everything inbetween here and infinity
Pages on pages, it seems like it has been ages
Since the last time I could go without feeling like
Another crazy bird flying about it's cage
Nowhere to go and no place feels right to me
At times all I can think about is all that has been bouncing around in my head
As you can see this is starting to become something unhealthy
And just another night lying here awake in this bed
All this has been bouncing around inside my head
I think I'm slowly becoming content with staying here forever
What if I never try again, would you put another mark down for all my sins?
And what if I never let myself be moved by anything ever again?
To never believe in anything, Would that truly be something?
A great nothing to believe in
Oh, and you took a part of me
When you left me here swiftly
With ease it seems
You wanted to let go of me
I'd rather stop breathing
Than stand here and see
How everything seems to be changing
Right here at my feet, infront of me
I can't help but feel useless
When I know that all this was so meaningless
Oh, you took the best of me
When you left so easily
Dear old friend, I feel like I'm losing you again
To the changing of the seasons
And to the same old reasons
Why can't we stay here forever and promise never to change?
Do you remember? When we spent those days
Hiding inside tucked away from those past summer rains
Why does it always seem like the best things are always the first to change?
And you took a part of me
When you left me there at the crime scene
With my heart in hand, I could barely stand
A bloody love letter floating in the wind
And I vowed I would never go through that again
I'd rather stop breathing
Than stand here and witness
All these changes that are happening around me
All the memories will never be the same
Oh, you took the best part of me
When you left me so easily
Is it wrong to say that I'm feeling a little lost and confused?
Lately I guess I can say I've been feeling a little blue
Lost and confused to where I'm going and where I wanna be
And it seems like it's been forever since the last time I could stand here
And say that the reflection in that mirror looks a lot like me
In time the face gets older and the body gets weaker with age
I guess there's always a point in our lives
Where the world around us and the people in it have to change
In a sense we're all just birds in a cage
Waiting to be set free
I guess in the end it was meant to be this way
Just a bird in a cage waiting for it's chance
To get up and just fly away
