Left Turn

Traveling at the speed of sound 
Not once have your feet left the ground
It's shown you the world but hasn't taken you far

Writing letters you will not send
You know the words and you comprehend
But the right ones don't come to your mind in time

Was your left turn right
Or are you going in circles
All you see is hindsight
It's nothing but a reversal
And your knuckles are white
'Cause this is not a rehearsal

You know your nerve never fails to fail
Doesn't take much for the train to derail
And you can't make yourself believe in destiny

Yes, it's the simple life for you
Awake and writing this at 2
As all your energy turns to entropy

Blank Slate

I'm not a robot
I am a sad scientist 
Would it save me from myself
To cease and desist 
Obsession filling up my days
Must have tried a thousand ways

To be a blank slate
Do you think it would set me free
Because I can't wait   
To find serenity
A blank slate
Can you tell me what to be
I'll eliminate 
The greatest part of me

I'm made to feel too much
May be unwell
But take away the highs and lows
Then what is left
One too many fatal flaws
List of features to redraw 

Start from scratch and build the one that you want
An empty page you can write whatever on

Everything will not fall into place when one of the pieces isn't made to fit.
The very idea that I’d ever conform - it’s just wishful thinking.
Always the interloper, getting into something I can’t understand. 
Only to find that someone's there before me 
to stack the deck, poison the well - at least that's what I'll tell myself.
Creeping through the hydra-headed days, overanalyzing every move. 
Then daring to brandish the sword that I wield - well, I'm no warrior.
Always the interloper, getting into something I can’t understand. 
Only to find that someone's there before me 
to stack the deck, poison the well - at least that's what I'll tell myself.
Tilting at a windmill, my aim isn’t all that true. 
Falling back in line, never able to follow through. 
I will stop at nothing - I stop at nothing all the time.

I'm sorry but that war in your head is here to stay 
and you’ll grow around it like a tree, fixing it in place. 
You’ll find out how it feels to break a heart 
and that it suits you so much better the other way around. 
You’re not as strange and broken as you think you are. 
You’ll battle with an enemy no one can see,
and you'll forget yourself for a while but then you'll remember.
You should know that when you wave away the days like flies, 
the years will also comply. 
All the thrills and defeats you'll feel flare and subside. 
You'll live to see the world end more than one time. 
You're not as strange and broken as you think you are.
Better days are coming than you've had so far.
