Black clouds rally around my head like it's the eye of the storm
Relentlessly cascading through my better judgment and my thoughts
How long to free my mind, find clearer skies ahead
If every cloud has a silver lining, then by now I should be dead
Hey, hey, you better give up the ghost before it's too late
But it's much easier to wallow in modest misery
Hey, hey, where's your self-worth?
About 40,000 fathoms deep buried in dirt
I've been coming apart at the seams
Losing track of everything that matters to me
Never did I think I'd become so hollow
I'm not okay, and that's a bitter pill to swallow
It's overcast, guess I'm back here again
'Cause the black clouds overhead just never seem to end
But have peace of mind, in time I'll be fine
With or without you
When did it become okay to not speak your mind?
Keep your eyes on the prize, kid, bottle it up deep inside
'Cause nobody hears, and nobody's here to help you deal with the fallout
These things have gotta change
No more suffering in silence
Call me a sceptic 'cause I just don't feel like you
Where's the compassion and the kindness?
Nobody's listening, I've reached my breaking point
I've got this feeling like there's somebody watching me
Setting me up just to push me back down
But they will all be sorry when we come back around
When we come back around
So I ask myself, where did it all go wrong?
I converse with myself like I'm somebody else
It's been my problem all along
Oh, take me back to the days when
I felt I could live and learn
Just what it means to be happy
And what it's like to not hurt
Oh, take me back to the days when
I felt I could live and learn
Just what it means to be happy
I've been coming apart at the seams
Losing track of everything that matters to me
Never did I think I'd become so hollow
I'm not okay, and that's a bitter pill to swallow
It's overcast, watch me fade to grey
'Cause the black clouds overhead are here to rain on my parade
But have peace of mind, in time I'll be fine
With or without you
So things have gotta change
Things have got to change
