Write the pain away
We push ourselves
To become something
Instead of nothing
To be someone we want
Rather than who we are
We are taught
To open our hearts
Even when it's clear
We cannot
We want to have control
But the fear alone
Is powerful enough
To stop us
We say we are willing
To do almost anything
anything for the truth.
We know the pain
Better than we know
The answers
To all the questions
We dream
A different world
For you and me
When we know
It's just make believe
We hold on
To things we should let go
But even we know
We're running out
Running out of time
