lyrics

Who I Am

The past is well past
If I'd thought I'd of asked
Where this story may go
No one quite knows me
So how can I pretend
That I comprehend
When I don't
Understand why
All these things pass me by
When truth becomes lies
I laugh as I cry
As I sit in my room
And bask in the gloom
Of the night
Thats as still as a field
Where my thoughts cease to yeild
The comforts of my heart
Was I wrong from the start,
But how can this be
Did I procede carelessly
I dont know
Why my conscience yells
But as far as I can tell
I can't sprout wings
And fly with birds that sing
So freely I've become
Broken, bruised and numb
Inside
Pain's all I feel as
My thoughts become real
The sweat starts to pour
I can't take anymore
I sink down to cry
Through my teeth I lie
I'm fine
I say once again
From the depths I begin
To express my fate
It's either love or hate
What verdict will I choose
I can't afford to lose
My mind
But it's too late
To seperate
The facts from the myth
To ponder with
My words as they flow
Out the puzzles that show
Who I am
Don't dwell on the past
It's already cast
In stone I have turned
From lessons learned
That scars will fade
Like memories made
In time
The past is the past
If I'd thought I'd ask
Where the story may go
No one knows me
So how can I pretend
That I comprehend
That I don't know who I am
