ALL THE THINGS

I need some inspiration
to get me out of here
just a little transformation
so I don’t have to care

and I know it’s my decision
it’s obvious and clear
you say it’s just an illusion
but still it is my fear

I’ve heard it all before

too scared to seize the day
instead I’m wasting time
special moments far away
they could all be mine

and all the things I think I need
keep me away from what I seek
I let them whisper all the lies
believe them instead of my own eyes

try to break the wall inside
I have thought it through
want a wall to hide behind
that is what I do

I’ve tried it all along

getting closer all the time
sometimes don’t even care
about the paths I have to find
though I don’t know what’s there

and all the things I think I need
keep me away from what I seek
I let them whisper all the lies
believe them instead of my own eyes
