lyrics

Been running through stop signs, and then stalling when the light says "go".
Soon I'll arrive at the crossroad, between maturity and growth.
Still I've haven't discovered the reasoning for this constant need of answers I've yet to know.
So for now I'll just sit here trying to make myself feel...

A little more sane,
Just a little less insane.

How long before I cave in from the pressure?
How long until I just can’t take the pain?
This urge that resonates in my skull and pierces through my veins?
Is there a way that,
all these thoughts could just disappear?
Goin’ steady at 88 but everyone’s still here.

I’ve tried to lose myself in a book, but I never could cement myself to the ground.
And when I try to indulge myself in anything, I break the silence with a futile sound.
But all I want is to see some closure, so could you give me those answers before these caps soar above our heads.
10 fingers can only mark the pages we need so come on and let me at least begin to feel...

This isn't the first time,
And it sure won't be the last.
You cut me down,
Then stabbed me in the back.
I tried too hard,
Was consumed by own thoughts.
But in the end these emotions are all i’ve got.
