The clouds are frowning back at me As if they’re trying not to cry All I can do is idle and waste away my time My thoughts are a mess all over But I try my best to choke them down They boil up inside me until they all burst out
I am afraid I’ll fuck up any day now But I’m trying hard just to get myself together I’ll lose myself in all my problems With every passing day that I keep waiting for answers
How do I make a pretty picture On tomorrow’s empty canvas of white infinity How do I make a pretty picture On tomorrow’s empty canvas of black reality If I try I’ll shine maybe
I'm feeling pathetic as I worry myself sick Can’t stand it doing jack shit But what are my dreams I left them to rot Now I hide away smoking up on the rooftop Another boring day at the cafe I’m not myself now all my friends say Everything’s fine I bark a lie Though it's a pain can't help but deny I saunter down along the same old sidewalk As I shuffle through my brand new iPod Every song is lacking substance I’m overwhelmed when it’s really nothing Used to be so warm and peaceful then Now I’d suffocate without windows open Underneath the pressure feeling constipated I cannot avoid the complications
I am afraid I’ll fuck up any day now But I’m trying hard just to get myself together I lose myself in all my problems With every passing day that I keep waiting for answers
How do I make a pretty picture On tomorrow’s empty canvas of white infinity How do I make a pretty picture On tomorrow’s empty canvas of black reality If I try I’ll shine maybe
I try to last a fleeting moment To draw a picture A messy portrait of who I long to be And starting now I’m making peace with me
