lyrics

I was feeling like living dead
Only static up in my head
All I wanted was to hang out in my bed.

I was searching for a light
A way out of this plight
And all I knew was something was not right.

As I drove further on down the street
I was feeling my soul retreat
But I kept on driving further into black.

It was tearing me apart
My head versus my heart
And all I wanted was to find some peace.

Then my brain got stuck in park
As I fumbled on through the dark
Looking for anything that would get me back in gear.

In the absence of a tide
A self perpetuated slide
Took a hold and tried its best to keep me down.

Just listen to yourself
'Cause nobody else can know you like you do.
Be honest with yourself
'Cause nobody else could ever know the feelings that you do.
Don't ignore the thoughts that fill your head.

I took refuge in the pen
And put that pen onto the page
And thought that maybe I could write my way out of my cage.

And the things I dare not say
Or I tried to ignore away
Started taking shape like sculpture from the clay.

When I read my thoughts out loud
Well the sun broke through the clouds
I could feel that monkey jump right off my back.

And the answer was plain to see
It was right out there for me
I guess it was just too obvious to be.

Just listen to yourself
'Cause nobody else can know you like you do.
Be honest with yourself
'Cause nobody else could ever know the feelings that you do.
Don't ignore the thoughts that fill your head.
