BECOME Through the broken promises and all the deceit Through the untrue words layed before my feet Through the neglect, through the dying trust This is what I've become Through the fading feelings inside your heart Through your vision now blurred, we're worlds apart Through the confusion and weeping, through the pain and the reaping This is what I've become Through the lack of compassion and the overwhelming despair Through every hour of emptiness how can you not care Through the shoving and taunting, through the ignorance and flaunting This is what I've become Behold what I've become and forget what I became Forget the old, observe the new, remember my name How Can I? How can I move when my heart keeps on holding me down How can I sleep when I can't stop hearing that sound The sound of my past coming back to my haunt me forever Every memory of the things that we enjoyed together The pain that I feel I wish it could just leave my mind Every day I try but I can't seem to leave it behind I no longer see in color, only different shades of grey Time keeps ticking by, but these demons, they're here to stay I need a shot of something because I'd rather feel numb I'm lost and there's nowhere else to run Every breath I take continues to be harder than the last How can I keep going when I can't free my heart of the past?! The Point? THE POINT? The vicious, repetitive cycle of my inner struggles continues to get in my way To find love, happiness, and meaning again, oh how I look forward to that day Sick of feeling like every day is another haunting staple in an empty journey Tired of all the sleepless nights and feeling the flames of the past as they burn me Every day my motivation to reach my goals continues to slip into the sunset It is sad because I feel like I haven't had a chance to let go and run yet I can't help to feel that it's all for nothing and nothing will feel right Even if I do achieve the goals, for I will remain alone at night
