Looking for a reason
I stare at the walls hoping for the answer,....
I keep wishing it would appear.....
I yell and I scream at the walls in my empty room....
But they won't even change their color for me....
....
....
My mind never shuts up so I can listen,....
the pain is just too much to bear.....
nothing takes the pain away, so I hide in my mind and disappear....
....
....
Once upon a time, I was happy,....
Once upon a time I had hope....
Now it's all gone and empty....
everything was just a joke....
....
take my breath away from me, I don't deserve one more.....
My mind hurts when I try to think, Of just one reason or more....
Looking for a reason....
Looking for a reason....
Looking for a reason to be....
....
The walls keep getting closer, The windows too small to get out.....
My dreams and desires are all but gone,....
and I know that my time is now.....
....
....
I'm looking for a reason to be,
I've tried everywhere, but nothing I can see....
My thoughts always end up with the same conclusion,
There is no choice for me....
....
I'm looking for a reason to stay....
I'm searching for light through the darkness....
But I can't even get a glimpse from here....
So I turn back towards the emptiness of my heart and wish to disappear.....
....
take my breath away from me, I don't deserve one more.....
My mind hurts when I try to think, of just one reason or more....
Looking for a reason....
Looking for a reason....
Looking for a reason to be....
....
I look to the sky and wonder,
Why even the bluest sky seems black to me....
After all this time I've been searching....
There is no reason for me.....
There is no reason to see....
There is no reason to be................
