Everyday is a struggle between what I wanna say
And what I should keep to myself
And the words that manage to leave my lips
Don't hurt me, but they hurt everyone else
So I find myself in need of a pause
I'm not sure why, but I think that it's because
Of this desire to be what others want me to be
Which is nothing close to me
But I'll see better when the smoke clears
When the smoke clears inside my head
And I can listen when the screaming
Doesn't repeat everything I've said
And all that remains me and who I am
At the end of the day and this happens everyday
Everyday is a battle between what I wanna know
And what I don't wanna figure out
And everything in between in these thoughts of mine
That you know I can't live without
So I find myself in need of a pause
I'm not sure why, but I think that it's because
Of this desire to be what others want me to be
Which is nothing close to me
But I'll see better when the smoke clears
When the smoke clears inside my head
And I can listen when the screaming
Doesn't repeat everything I've said
All that remains me and who I am
At the end of the day and this happens everyday
