Blank pages keep me awake But these nights are too long to shake off My nerve to easy to break A brave face is too hard to fake Stressed out and I'm losing the will I'm too hot but I'm feeling the chill of defeat This happens every time Push the boundaries 'til I tow the line I'll find my feet Save my skin and hopefully Crush the doubt in my head To work this out in the end I've been crossing out the lines And I've been wasting all my time Questioning myself again With ink that's trapped inside this pen Ignore and push to the side Plays on in the back of my mind The right words are too hard to find Keep cool and wait for a sign No good, just good for nothing This path must lead to something Worth the doubt, the stress, the effort I always knew I could never cut the pressure Thinking back to the days when nobody knew my name It was so easy to escape My careless mind was a safer place Always asking why can't bring myself to even try Holding out till the end Fake a smile and pretend Oh, but there's still time to get these wounds to open wide Spill my guts on this page Breaking out of this cage
