That Special Someone

Something keeps telling me to leave

Something inside that thinks it knows what I need

And if I could go, and just go away

Do you think I should? I think I may

Someone keeps telling me to quit

Someone outside who thinks they know all of it

And if I could stop, and just stop it all

Do you think I should? I think I may heed that call

Everyone keeps telling me what’s right

Everyone from the day, but I’m awake at night

And if I could know, and know it all right now

Do you think I should? I think I may know how

Everything keeps me out of equilibrium

Everything attacks me. LOOK OUT! Here it comes

And if I could fight, and just fight it all

Do you think I should? I think I may need to brawl

No one is telling me what I want to hear

No one can tell me what it is I fear

And if I could hide, and just hide away

Do you think I should? I think I may

Nothing is happening, not for me, nor for you

Nothing will kill me, and it will kill you too

And if we could be empathetic and not so pathetic

Do you think we should? I think we need to do it quick

She keeps repeating, like a voice in my head

She keeps impeding what needs to be said

She keeps defeating all these motives of mine

She keeps telling me that everything will be fine

Something keeps telling me to leave

Something inside that makes it hard to breathe

And if I could inhale, and just inhale with ease

Do you think you’d stay and never leave?

Someone keeps telling me to quit

Someone outside that doesn’t know shit

And if I could quiet, and just quiet it down

Do you think they’d shut up and stop hanging around?

Everyone keeps telling me what’s right

Everyone who can see, while I search for sight

And if I could see, and just see it for what it is

Do you think I’d keep writing any of this?

Everything keeps me out of equilibrium

Everything keeps me spinning until my body’s numb

And if I could stand up, and just stand up and balance

Do you think I could do it? Do I have a chance?

No one is telling me what I want to hear

No one wants to be the one I hold dear

And if I could stay, and just stay with you

Do you think you could stop and stay with me too?

Nothing is happening, not for me, nor for you

Nothing is closer to lies than your truth

And if we could lie, and just lie to be kind

Do you think you could stay here, and ease my mind?

She keeps repeating, like a voice in my head

She keeps impeding what needs to be said

She keeps defeating all these motives of mine

And we keep telling ourselves "It'll happen in due time..."

Also, here's another song. I started composing this back in November of '07 according to my computer, and I'm not sure when I necessarily "finished" it, but I hope you enjoy it.
