Contemplating
You ever lied awake at night And looked up at the stars so bright Wondering just how to fit in When to start and where to begin? Is it worth the price that they all pay, Being unhappy day after day? Starting a habit that they'll never break… Finally realizing that they're fake. Smoke so much pot they can't concentrate. Puking up the food back onto the plate. I don't know, it's just not me. I don't want it. Let me be. You ever looked into their eyes To see what therein really lies? Their worlds of insecurity and fear Leave you wondering what went on here… They hate because they don't understand What makes up the heart of every man So they kill with words instead of knives And decide to ruin other people's lives. Hold a gun up to their head And in a second, whoops, they're dead. I don't know, it's just not me. I don't want it. Let me be. For this would you lose your virginity? Just to earn popularity? The price we pay from day to day, The mask we wear that will betray Even ourselves-on this we think As into our stomachs our hearts will sink To think of how sick they really are. And we notice their terrible scar. Across her wrist I saw it there Poor kid always thought life was fair. I don't know, it's just not me. I don't want it. Let me be.
