Block You Out

I open my eyes, just to see the darkness surrounding me.

I see the memories of what things used to be.

I have tried to be the person everyone wants me to be and that's not okay.

It doesn't matter what you say, I'd rather be gone by the end of the day.

What does it matter to you what I do with my life?

Why don't you back off and quit making it full of strife.

I can hear your reverberating footsteps, leading up to the beat of my heart.

I'd rather walk away now than watch everything fall apart.

I wish I could erase all my mistakes, but life doesn't exactly work out that way.

You express how imperfect I am, but I really do not care what you say.

Tonight, I'll block you out, and close my eyes.

I'll see right past all your ridiculous lies.

It's bad enough I have to silently sing myself to sleep.

I just want you to see that what you sew is what you reap.
