What if I Listen to my wayward and melodramatic mood Just For a change What if I'd sat here to Contemplate my future and my past Over no coin toss And what if I Stop trying And start off making A little bit of sense again Here I am Going all out to be someone Well this is me Pretending I know why I breathe Set the stages and props This is my prime role I'm the only one But I'm still lost inside me Empty that brimming glass Off of my head, don't fill it up again But I keep hearing the screams What if I Self induce amnesia and a little bit of madness Bury my mental patterns What if I Quit fancying my life from the mighty leafy treetops I might get real... just might get real Here I am But I'm not allowed to be someone Well this is me Another casualty of this dichotomy Set the stages and props This is my prime role I'm the only one But I'm still lost inside me Empty that brimming glass Off of my head, don't fill it up again But I keep hearing the screams Like a dream as I touch the sky with my bleeding hands I set my foot on this life Set the stages and props This is my prime role I'm the only one But I'm still lost inside me Empty that brimming glass Off of my head, don't fill it up again But I keep hearing the screams The ego needs to be loud Empathy speaks out for itself But I keep hearing the screams
