The way to get out
is to go in
I am different when I am with you
There’s an Algorithm telling me what to buy
Telling me what to think
Warning me not to cry
Your innocuous joke , forever changed
Life has never been the same
You boil me down into
Is this all that I am to you
This is how you see me
And I
I don’t see it that way
There are times you have die
In order to find a new way of living
Reconstruction Reconfigure Life
I’ve got so many lives that I could probably stop giving
More time to other people’s lies

I Feel Like I Could Die
Any minute any minute Every Minute
Now I feel like I could die
Any minute any minute Every Minute
Every Minute of Every Day
I feel Alone
I feel Alone.

Try, Try not to think about it
Try, Try not to think about it
Try, Try not to think about it
I know, you feel that you can figure it all out
But.
You’ll never know
And LiFE Goes ON.
So, Hold on.
HOLD ON!
Try, Try not to think about it
Try not to think about it.
You’ve got to try not to think about it.

Am I living my life
Or is my life living me
I’ve Gotta Prove It To Myself That I can SHAPE my Destiney
Sometimes I don’t get the Feelings
Like something else is controlling me
Feeling aren’t always real
Lasting only as long as you give them something to hold onto
OR, Feel.
It doesn’t matter if you notice it or not
If you choose nothing it might be better than trying to do it all
Am I living my life
Or is my life living me
Life is what you make of it go create your reality
Am I living my life
Or is my life living me
Freedom is an illusion unless you have a chose
Do you have a chose?
I’m surprised you think you feel you know it all

Do anything that you want all of the time and
Live Your Best Life
Remember to respect others &
Remember to love yourself more than anyone else
And, Live Your Best Life

Break Free
01:35
|

I’m not in the right place
I’m living at the wrong time
Does anybody hear or can see me trapped inside my mind
In my body & mind
Is there anyone here, who can give me the time
Or anyone there who would mind spending a lifetime
With me by your side
I wish I could break free from this body that contains me
Then you could see just how beautiful that I can be

You have, forgotten once again, your self worth
Sacrifice it’s overrated and it’s never appreciated
But, you’re worth it all. Repeat
You’re worth it all
You’re worth it all
You’re worth everything
Don’t give it away
Don’t give it all away

I am singing a song, while having a conversation with myself, and the whole time there's me in the background observing
I feel happy

Thing is word & a word is a noun and a
Noun is only a word in your mind
There is no such thing as a Thing
Nobody really knows anything…. Any more
