Why do I hide from hide from existence
When things won’t go my way?
I’ve been searching day and night
For a dream to call my own
It seems no matter what I do
It’s not good enough for you
I look at you from far away
Wishing you would see me
But there you go turning away
Seeking something better
How can I compete
With the words I cannot say

How much longer must I stand
Upon this falling bridge
Waiting for the day to come
When it comes crumbling down
Into the rushing river below
My feet keep moving forward
When my mind is stuck in the past

On this road again it seems
I’ve walked off the beaten path
Lost again in the wilderness
Hoping step into quicksand
To let my body sink into the ground
Leaving no marker for one to see
No marker for on to kneel before
And pretend to pray for my soul
My mind keeps repeating
That awful phrase in my head

It’s okay to cry
It’s okay to cry
It’s okay to cry

But my eyes are staying dry
For I have no reason anymore
I watch as my world fades
This reception sucks
And I don’t have the words
To pretend like I care
Why can’t I just say good-night
Pretending that the world’s alright
When the sky is raining blood
Upon the broken pavement roads
When mortal men walk weary paths
And I pretend to understand the reasons I’m alone
