Room We Hide In

I'm not a person of my words anymore

I exist inside a dream that was started by a child that now lives inside of me

I can't play anymore

I'm falling off the edge and fighting every urge I've ever had to strike it down and leave it dead

I make music

Pain made me want to take to it, Fate drew it right in front your mothafuckin face, use it, right?

But there's a different way you view my life, so meet me in the middle and throw rocks from the room you hide in

I get inside it, How sick its mind that it's got me reaching after something like I thought that it was tryin to find me

Lost, and it's harder than expected

Spotlights burn the part of me that shouldn't be affected

And I try to be simple, don't put me on a pedastle

I'm twice as fucked as everyone and scared like all the rest of you

Please, all I want is peace when the sun sets

To breathe in and taste what hasn't come yet.

Listen to my words.

[Chorus x2]

Once upon a time, a long time ago before I lost my mind, I was fine, I was good, I was faithful

Now I'm crazy and I'm lost and I hate you

Because you took it all away from me

I chose my own path and left home without a road map

Dressed for sunshine, should have known better to pack

For those days that would turn rainy, cold, and black

See I heard the stories, but I didn't know the facts

I assumed all was perfect from the photographs

Til the light hit the surface to expose the cracks

What's worse than not knowin if you're still on track

Paranoid and having thoughts about turnin back

I've seen dreams transform into the worst disease

And almost let the doubt kill my will to succeed

But I traveled too far to turn around and leave

Get angry, pound my fists in the ground to bleed

Hoping to break my creed and sit at a table with thieves

Tricks up their sleeves, saying how my music should be

I keep on with the profits, and building with Grieves

Knowing one day I'll prove what I've always believed

Eventually, I know that day will be seized

[Chorus x2]

Once upon a time, a long time ago before I lost my mind, I was fine, I was good, I was faithful

Now I'm crazy and I'm lost and I hate you

Because you took it all away from me
