lyrics
(Verse 1)
Lessons to write, it's funny how the best things in life can become the worst ones, your best hope is that the pain turns numb, and that's a bad way to live, but it's what we learn from, distract yourself, create a diversion, deception of a person, doors revolve, but the tables ain't turnin', no escape from your inner monologue, arguing on and on, even if you wanna stop, and I got a lot stored up in me, bubbling, oozing, no soothing or comforting, wondering what is reality, balancing everything that's surrounding me, challenging, it's difficult to grow when you don't even know how to know, and so I'm
(Chorus)
Moving back and forth again, wondering what's real, if truth is an illusion then I don't know how to feel, I'm trapped inside my head where everything looks different, but somewhere outside of it is a place worth living in
(Verse 2)
Perception's directive, what you wanna see, 'til inner questions intersect with your odyssey, what you wanna be versus what you are, arteries pump from your heart, so follow it, take fear and swallow it, spit your pride up long enough to walk with it, exercise your demons, the positive energizes reasons to conquer it, it's hard to see beyond the bars of a cage, so it's hard visualizin' change, we only know what we can feel, but looking out strengthens my zeal, so take my hand so I can reach a world outside and finally leave, but sometimes where the beauty lies is a beautiful lie just in disguise
(Chorus)
Moving back and forth again, wondering what's real, if truth is an illusion then I don't know how to feel, I'm trapped inside my head where everything looks different, but somewhere outside of it is a place worth living in
(Verse 3)
And if I'm gonna be honest, thoughts are weaved by a spider in my conscience, spinning out of control 'til the nonsense is all I see in my optics, so I'll scour the trash 'til I find a compass, discover a direction, stumble on a sunset, illuminating what'll come next, so I can bear it all like I'm undressed, but I must confess that my unrest upsets what's left of my stomach, untying knots as I climb this rope, the same one that'll choke, and it's tied to a boat, but what floats that boat isn't always so full o' hope, so as turbulent tides subside to the side, I'll walk across this moat, 'cause I've been
(Chorus)
Moving back and forth again, wondering what's real, if truth is an illusion then I don't know how to feel, I'm trapped inside my head where everything looks different, but somewhere outside of it is a place worth living in
(Outro)
Moving back and forth, wondering what's real, outside my head, outside my head, outside, is a place worth living in
