I wrote this track at a pretty low point in my life (as you can probably tell by the happy mood of the track...). Its about when you feel your trapped by circumstance and that you may have to let go of who you wanted to be... Hope you enjoy.

So tired you lay awake at night contemplating your fate.
This wasn’t what you had in
mind for pity sake.
Awake to face another day and put on your smile. Everyone must think your great or be in denial.

So tell yourself you better now.
That is not as bad as you think.
You need someone to show you how.
How to move away from the brink.
And never did you lose control.
It more or less slipped away.
Left you with a few strands to hold.
But that won’t stop the oncoming day.

And as life flys by your ears,
You hear a brief sound.
Like the escaping of some air.
But not enough force to pull you round.
You realise that you lost touch of what made your life great.
Now your living someone else’s life,
And that’s someone that you hate.

But you feel like a fool
and it makes you so cruel.
You feel like a dream
with all the things that you’ve seen.
