You And The Pen

5 AM sleep won’t come

You’re drowning in your thoughts

Of broken hearts and shattered dreams

See, your faith ain’t what it seems

You’re in a daze

Your mind’s a blaze With your insecurities

You’re sick of where you are and where you’ve been

So you pick up a pen

And you write your rights

And you write your wrongs

You write 100 different verses to 1000 different songs

It’s you VS the paper as you slowly pour your heart

Your doubt grows larger and then you start to cry

On these open wounds

Self-inflicted words

That cause you to hate

Everything that you are

Throw your hands in the air

Couldn’t muster a prayer

You start to die

Man, I know where you’ve been

When it’s just You and the Pen

Your hope is weak

Your dreams deceased

This emotional show and tell

Has left you out of hope

And out of luck

Your whole life is shot to Hell

So all that’s left

Is little words

Only scribbles to tell your story

You write of love

You write of hate

You write of all your faded glory

And you write your rights

And you write your wrongs

You write 100 different verses to 1000 different songs

It’s you VS the paper as you slowly pour your heart

Your doubt grows larger and then you start to cry

On these open wounds

Self-inflicted words

That cause you to hate

Everything that you are

Throw your hands in the air

Couldn’t muster a prayer

You start to die

Man, I know where you been

I’ve started to cry

On my open wounds

Self-inflicted words

That caused me to hate

Everything that I am

Threw my hands in the air

Couldn’t muster a prayer

I’ve started to die

But then you pick yourself up

Put your feet on the ground

Blink back your tears

And take a good look around

Man, I’ve there before

When everything seems so wrong

The truth of it is, that’s what led to this song

Hey, man, I know were you’ve been

You’re not alone in the end

‘Cause you’ve got me and the pen
