I'm killing myself from the inside out
I'm trying so hard to be someone else, someone so very different from the way i've been raised
but breaking the mold while staying in line turns out to be quite the impossible task
Especially when you doubt yourself as much as i do
I always say i'm gonna lead the life i choose, but there's so much in the way
It's going to take alot of sympathy, alot of luck and hope and determination
But somehow, those are all skills I've sort of aquired over the years
By disguising myself behind all these different personas, these strangers
I've just experienced twice as much
maybe it's not such a bad thing to have no idea where the hell you're headed
that way you can put most of the mistakes behind you and just head off on your way
It usually doesn't feel like it, but 16 is really so young
I mean, all I know is this town
there's so much more i need to make sense of
Most likely, I've got years and years left, but of course nothing is for sure
I could get hit by a car
I could get shot or stabbed or broken
And when i start to think about that, about the impermanace of my life here, I get scared
Because if I were to die right now, I'd feel so angry and cheated
That's no way to die at all
I want my stars to finally explode
i want the thunder to pull me underneath the haze
but I don't want to just let go
I replay the catchy choruses in my head all the time
I've somehow mangaed to create a life based on the lyrics that fill my mind
I've found recently that it's easier for me to just watch other people talk about nothing than to join in
I'm an observer, a watcher
I don't like gettting caught up
because i have no idea where the swell will take me
I'm so small, so human
only a fractional part of a universe
The vast vast majority of the world, of this state even
doesn't even know I exist
It doesn't matter how many chances I take, how many hearts and bones I break
I'll always only be a little part of a masterplan
That's why I've learned to accept my own significance, to simply strive to mean something to the few people that stand by me
and this is my apology
