Days
Days go by, and you realize
Everything is different when looked at through new eyes
Days go by, and I realized
My own head always kept leading me down a path of despise
I hear the clock ticking down in the back of my mind
I hear the voice deep inside yelling "this is the time"
I hear another voice saying "why the fuck do you keep trying?
You're worthless", shut the fuck up, everyone knows you're lying
And now I do too, you no longer fucking control me
You always resort to kicking me down like you own me
I'm owned by no one but the cosmos and the astral
You thought you could control my worth? Now I hold the cadastral
Now go grab a dictionary, educate yourself
Before you try to fucking school me on my personal hell
You thought you could entrap me in, but now I hold the keys
And Hades is open to let all my dreams be free
And let all of my peers finally see
What exactly is the purpose of me
The purpose is something I hold deep down inside
My purpose is to live my music until I'm ready to die
Days go by, and you realize
Everything is different when looked at through new eyes
Days go by, and I realized
My own head always kept leading me down a path of despise
I took off my rose colored shades
Just to find out the world is not what it seems
Colors just didn't look the way that I thought
Get it? I'm colorblind, and I was trapped in a box
It took so many years to escape and break away
Man, I can't even count exactly how many days
I spent wishing I could just die and stop feeling the pain
And all I could ever hear was the tapping of the rain
Upon the windows and the tin roof of my soul
I've had such a painful journey just trying to become whole
Even discussing it now can be kinda difficult
I'd dig myself out just to find an even bigger hole
I'm better now, you may ask "how do you figure, though?"
Because I may not can change, but my outlook can, bro
And so now I'm looking ahead to the future endeavors
Because I know that this feeling can't go on forever
Days go by, and you realize
Everything is different when looked at through new eyes
Days go by, and I realized
My own head always kept leading me down a path of despise
