it might take a few tries
to look you in the eyes
and tell you i'm not afraid
to go along with all the other lies i've made
but you know i am
how could i not be?
i'm as good as dead out here
lost at sea
you know the one
the one i drowned in my loneliness
and i came back
to bury a treasure
to bury a dream
so that one day
you could dig it up
the exciting rush
the build up
the let down
the disapointment
so just forget about me
i won't forget you
the day you showed me the light
you taught me to fight
but now i never feel right
and i find myself needing that light
once, twice, three times again
man overboard, over the top
shooting towards the stars
a passing through my head
but it's over now i'm almost dead
there's an itch on the top of my brain
and the only way i feel relieved
is if i write it all out of me
all of my sadness and hatered
but the thing is
is that i know you can't see the pattern
because i relate the unrelated
to make out the meaning
was it to make out,
or to make up?
now i'm not sure
if i'm talking about God, a girl, or my family
sometimes they seem the same
the trinity i never knew
i know it's hard to live for something
that you can't see
yet a person will their lives
trying to achieve a status
or find peace in their hearts
so then what's their problem?
but a girl...
such a complicated word
it holds a past, and different faces
and a mirror holds the truth
but you know i'm being vague
so that i can fall back
in to the holes i left in my words
i won't be pinned down
by my wandering mind
so put down your map
you won't find me
to look you in the eyes
and tell you i'm not afraid
to go along with all the other lies i've made
but you know i am
how could i not be?
