lyrics

(These are wicked scars, but I know I'll be alright)
(As long as I can stop the bleeding)
(And it's a bitter world, but I know that I'll get by)
(As long as I can find a reason)

Am I confessing this too soon?
Well I guess we will find out.
And I know you’ve had your doubts about me.
It’s funny I’ve had those same doubts myself.

‘Cause in a world that moves
At a breakneck speed,
My spine is never prepared for the stress.
And since I don’t quite understand
Where I’m going,
It gets hard to ever progress.

And that is where I’ll find
Some hope to hide my doubts inside.
I’ll try to live behind this weak
And crumbling disguise.
And when my courage fades,
I’ll drag myself out of its grave.
And fade into this daydream,
Knowing that I may never wake.
(I may never wake)

Something is worrying you now,
I beg you keep it away from me.
Because I feel like I am worried enough,
And your worries don’t bode too
Well for this daydream.

So I’ll cast you out,
So I will not have to face the truth.
I am far too weak
To open the door of my heart for you.

And that is where I’ll find
Some hope to hide my doubts inside.
I’ll try to live behind this weak
And crumbling disguise.
And when my courage fades,
I’ll drag myself out of its grave.
And fade into this daydream,
Knowing that I may never wake.
(I may never wake)
(I may never wake)

Time wait.
I’m just not ready.
I feel like I’m afflicted with this
Insanity.
And it’s getting the best of me.

I’m okay, though
My mind’s a bit unsteady.
I guess it’s slow adjusting to the change.
So I will shun those parts of me.

I don’t know where I’m headed,
But I know I have to leave.
Am I insane?
My conscience seems to have abandoned me.
I must have lost it in the darkness
When I couldn’t see.
‘Cause I was unaware,
Caught in the snare of a daydream.

I look all around,
Though I can’t tell where it has dropped.
There are too many lines I crossed
When I should have stopped.
I check at every danger sign
That I ignored or fought.
Maybe when I dipped into my darkness
It did not.

And I cannot believe,
That I could act so selfishly.
These thoughts are not of me.
So I will take my leave,
I’m tired of this daydream.
There must be something more in store for me.

Or is it just insanity?
Or is it just insanity?
Or is it just insanity?
