All my life I've wanted different things.
 I had different loves and I've dreamt different dreams.
 I've never lived out a single life I'd chosen.
 And I only now start to see why, then the walls start to close in. 
 
 I either try to care more than I do or keep a back at a safe distance, I've confused myself into this lie, my life looks like what it isn't. 
 
 I wanted to be an artist so I drew pictures with a blade.
 I put them on my wrists so I would know if they would fade.
 
 I dreamt of being a singer so I stayed silent for a year.
 I screamed for help but oh so quiet, nobody could hear.
 
 I wonder what I used to want and who I used to be.
 I think if I had know this then I would have hated me.
 
 ......
 
 The same thoughts circle in my head chasing each other sometimes repeating repeating. Notalwayscoherentorclearorfollowingpatterns. 
 
 I try to clear it up inside my head from all these scenes,
 but I just can't make any sense of agonizing screams.
 
 I wonder who I used to be and wonder what I dreamed.
 This path that I went down is much more ugly than it seemed.
