Can I shed this skin in the sake of progress? Without it there would be no comfort left for me to sleep in and moving on just doesn’t feel like an option I’m as set in stone as all of my bad habits All I wanted was to not feel like a burden It only hurts worst when I know you’re worrying It’s something that I didn’t want to share So forget all of the times that I wished that you cared But I’m sick of all these ceilings and not enough bright skies And telling everyone I meet that they’ve caught me at a bad time I guess I need to learn to love me But I’m not convinced I can because of my history (There was) a time when my friends were Blood under my fingernails and smoke from my cigarettes Anything to block out the noise like Late night lonely drives or trying to kill my voice But it was your driveway I parked in that night You told me it was okay to not know how to make this right A simple plea- tell me not to hurt myself It doesn’t mean anything from anyone else I’ll try not to live everyday like a sleepless twenty four hour trudge to my grave I’ll try to find my own strength, I just need to push all of these stones away I’ll try to make it through today if you don’t concern yourself with how I medicate One day I’ll change all of my ways, maybe not today, but one day, one day, one day
