I’m not comfortable in my own skin
I’m reliving my past and all the places I’ve been
It always seemed to mean so much
But now meaning is something I can’t touch
Time has been moving way too fast
And still I can find nothing that lasts
I’ve been searching my soul for inspiration
Searching my life for some motivation
I tried to rearrange my stars
But found I couldn’t reach that far
I need to find something to live for
Before life closes the door
On all of my dreams which have yet to come true
And if they never do, what else is new?
I’m used to the feelings of emptiness and loss
I let my fleeting feelings be the boss
I’ve given everything I can give
But I can’t remember how to really live
My mind wanders to worlds unknown
Seeing things it shouldn’t be shown
I see all sides on any issue
And dream about how I would like to kiss you
But I don’t perceive things as they are
I feel like a bug stuck in a jar
I still don’t conceive what life’s all about
All the things I thought I knew
Now fill me with doubt
I can only hope that things will change soon
Maybe something will happen on the full moon
