Set Fire to My Mind

I scream, I cry,  when no one is around
I want to toss away these memories and burn this place down

I can't erase these feelings and I can't escape the past
heartache doesn't die young even if you live fast

It's always biting at my back waiting on the ground
whenever I stop to catch my breath it's there again to bring me down

I want to set fire to my mind and reduce this pain to ash
let it all go up in smoke in one big fiery flash

It doesn't work that way, life will proceed to blacken what's pure
there is no magic remedy it's a sickness without any cure

I scream, I cry, when no one is around
I want to toss away these memories and burn this place down

I am guilty of it and it makes me sad. This is not who I dreamed I would be when I was a kid. I thought being an adult was going to be awesome but mostly it's a conf...

Life rhythm: I ebb , I flow Windows are closed and I can't find the door. Bouncing like a dropped rubber ball ricocheting against every wall. Over and over I come and I go Never finding that place to call home. It burns and I harden like lava to rock Ticking and chiming I run like a clock. Running and running but staying in place Holding back my words trying to save face. Tears replace anger and make it all worse I don't cry because I'm weak I cry because it hurts.
