A song about social anxiety. I'm not particularly happy amongst a sea of people. I can fake it but I get worn out pretty quick. I'm usually just waiting to go home. Something like that. I can't remember why I wrote this. Probably boredom like most of my songs. I already had this up but I wanted a new version. I drew you a picture of a boy floating off into space guided by his little red balloon.

Lyrics:

Round and round the ground caves in
It swallows me whole
I fell hard far I fell so deep
These wounds will never close

Behind these lips my tongue doth quip
Life is but a dream
Behind these eyes so blind I've tried
But nothing's what it seems

I can paint a picture
Of what I used be
I keep chasing light
While the dark is stalking me
I don't want to see it
I don't want know
God give me a reason to let this body go
Time keeps on slipping
In between my hands
Lost inside my thoughts
Will you ever understand
A boy like me

Words best left unspoken
These stories never told
Beds will keep on burning
But wont save me from the cold

I watch now from a distance
These destructive memories
How it was and how it is
How much worse could it be

I can paint a picture
Of what you want to see
The colors and the shades
They all keep haunting me
You wont ever see it
You wont ever know
God I need a reason to let this body go
My heart keeps on beating
Head rests upon my hands
When I think of leaving
Won't you ever understand
A boy like me
