To be filled in Later

i don't think you understand me,
I don't think you ever will.
this life is so demanding, 
i just wanna chill.
Three seconds is a goal for me,
five minutes would be fantastic,
i just wish the stress levels would fall
to something a little less drastic.
i'm starting to hate this feeling,
i'm starting to hate these thoughts,
all that went away with the words i brought.
Up, from the grave they have risen,
that's enough. i'm finished. i'm so tired of you trippin'.
My mind's gonna bust, for what, why are we truly living?
Life is rough, you gotta search for the meaning,
live for love, the thought leaves me screaming,
see that light, so beautiful whilst gleaming, 
but the truth, so very different from what it's seeming,
it takes an imagination to view it differently while it's streaming,
but i only wish that i could speak, I'd say "im only dreaming"
Every night i would wake up, cold sweats, so shaken
i would stand to find the remedy to cease my body's quaking
look into the mirror to see the faces i'm not making.
Everything's a dream,
no, more like a night mare,
I wake up from a scream,
i see that you're not there.
I close my eyes, and count to three,
pinch myself because i'm scared.
Twigs scratch on the windows,
I hear a sound so rare,
a rumble from underneath my bed
says I've forever lost my teddy bear...
