Lyrics #1

I’m sick of living in fear

Plagued by it year after year

Soul-crushing

Hope-ending

Dream-rending

Suffocating

Living someone else’s ideal

Someone else’s wife

How did I end up here

I didn’t choose this life

But what do I choose

Now I’ve got so much to lose

Or is that all an illusion

Seething in confusion

It hurts too much to stay

Stifled

Chained

Behave, there’s a good girl

Dreams so sweet they rot my brain

Thoughts of you driving me insane

I can almost taste you through the pain

It hurts so much to hope again

I want to run

Towards, away, doesn’t matter where

But running is what got me here

Need to make this time different

Everyone tells me what could go wrong

Slow down, stop, think

Let the fear seep back in

But I can’t help thinking

... What if it all goes right?
