Playing To This Tune In My Head

Caught somewhere in between
People say you're depressed
Because you screamed
When they locked you away
Taking a breath too deep
They call it a sigh
Forget needing oxygen
You aren't good enough for that

She listens in as you rant
Her breathing soothes your hate
Someday, she says
They'll be insignificant
And you believe
Believe like never and forever
Knowing it won't be important
To remember in a year
Whether you smoked
Or lied
Or ran away, knowing it was useless

You'll be able to close them away
And forget the past
Instead of fighting and breaking
But now you've learned
You can let it go
When they tell you you're a fool
They have lost control over you
Even if they hold you here
Tonight
Because tonight only feels like a lifetime
And tomorrow is just the beginning
