lyrics

Another night to myself
In a different world it might a big relief
But their voices are so loud
Again they are keeping me down
Just pushing these figures around

Another night in my own world
Creating a fiction that's just for me
The days happenings set off a battle of words
For the ones I'm about to see
We'll share a table while stuffing back down
The truth and our true feelings
Nothing feels like it's growing here at all
No nothing feels quite right to me

Another time, another place in the world
Maybe we could feel some great relief from ourselves
But the words have been, said and you
Can't retract the truth
You just move on, and keep calm and
Never let anyone in

I gotta tell you, building castles out of sand...They may look good but underneathIt's the same materialNothing here is going to change the worldWe all got the baggage but none of the breakthroughsMaybe our children can form a new world

I've had a strong sense of not being wanted
It started back when I was just a child
I was fortunate, but somehow not equipped
With the links and the ties that bind us to our past lives in this world
