The Glass Half Empty -

One step forward

Two steps back

I’m losing footing

In losing tact

On unstable ground

At least I’ve claimed my plot

Before they lay me back down

Everything is changing

While I stay the same

And it feels like I’m waking up to the same day

It’s the same old story

The same old place

Same old room, where I spent most of my days

As a kid, things seemed

So much brighter back then

And I never had to fake a smile

And the hardest thing I had to do

Was ask my mom if I could just stay out a little while longer

I’d dream of leaving

When I all I ever wanted was right here

But the good things, they pass you by

And you’re never there when they die

I’ve learned the hardest part of growing up is burying the ones you love

So alone

I can feel it in every inch of my body

In every bone

It’s eating me alive from the inside

An emptiness, I’ll always know

So alone

I can feel it every inch of my bones

It’s eating me alive from the inside

Now I’m sinking down again

Like I do everyday

And god if you’re there, please answer me

But you’re not there and I know it

So, why do I keep talking to the sky when I’m alone?
