I’ve been having trouble sleeping
I’ve been having nightmares for weeks
The same one again and again
I should know how this ends
With a knife in my chest cutting deep
All this time that I spent thinking of the next day
Wasn’t time that I was spending in the best way
Sometimes I wonder what’s going on in my head
And other times I think I might as well stay in bed
Another sleepless night but I can’t make a change
I can’t last another day I’m falling apart
Another sleepless night I’m gonna make a change
I can’t last another day
I’ll take a good hard look around at this overwhelming process of aging
And take a second chance to pull myself off the ground

Just a slightly better version of the person I used to be
And yea some things they really need to be figured out
So I’ll travel down that broken road
And I’ll hate to say that I told you so
But hesitation's the breeding ground of fear and doubt
My voice is like a pessimist and I can’t afford to start listening
Maybe its not fair at all life is just a path you choose
It just shows you don’t care at all and you’ve got everything to lose
Maybe it means more to me to escape my solitude
Look around and then you’ll see that you’ve got everything to lose
Let’s set this straight the time to talk is over
You can’t disguise yourself anymore
Circles you’re running seem so fitting
You need to pull yourself off of the floor
I don’t know what it means to end the day and fear the next one coming
I just know that for things to stay the same you’ll be the one who’s nothing
