Leave It All Behind

v1
Somebody touched you a little too hard;
you fell through your mind and lost your way.
Your thoughts were too clear,
they succumbed to your fears,
tangled into every word you tried to pray.

v2
Nobody sees a boy who pretends to be real,
when he's really just invisible and blind.
They speak to your dreams,
and then they rip at the seams --
So you move on, and you leave it all behind.

Are you happy in the lie?

ch
It's all useless, all senseless, all pointless and imagined;
all empty, all worthless, all muted, deaf, and blind.
It's all jaded, you're wasted on the poison of your passions;
Can't fight it, can't hide it, better leave it all behind.

v3
Say that you're better than the rest of the world;
maybe words will dissipate your fears away.
But the air that you breathe
is far too frail to believe
in the fantasies that never seem to stay.

v4
So you walk on broken wishes and pretend to be real,
when you're really just invisible and blind.
Your ego just can't save
all of these promises you've made --
So you move on, go on -- you leave it all behind.

What do you expect to find?

ch
It's all useless, all senseless, all pointless and imagined;
all empty, all worthless, all muted, deaf, and blind.
It's all jaded, you're wasted on the poison of your passions;
Can't fight it, can't hide it, better leave it all behind.

br
Why do you move when you never get anywhere?
What are you trying to prove when there's no one there?
You're an impossible dream and you reside in your own head.
You'd be better off alive if you didn't feel so dead.
And it's down to this, the corners of your mind --
now it's time to scream or leave it all behind.

ch
'Cause it's all useless, all senseless, all pointless and imagined;
all empty, all worthless, all muted, deaf, and blind.
It's all jaded, you're wasted on the poison of your passions;
Can't fight it, can't hide it, better leave it all behind.
(Better leave it all be-- leave it all--)

Useless, all senseless, all pointless and imagined;
all empty, all worthless, all muted, deaf, and blind.
It's all jaded, you're wasted on the poison of your passions;
Can't fight it, can't hide it, better leave it all behind.
Can't fight it, can't hide it, better leave it all behind.
(Better leave it all be-- leave it all--)
Behind.

I'm really liking this song. Partially written about a character I am inserting into a story I have in development.
