Everyday is a struggle between what I wanna say
And what I should keep to myself
And the words that manage to leave my lips
Don`t hurt me, but they hurt everyone else
So I find myself in need of a pause
I`m not sure why, but I think that it`s because
Of this desire to be what others want me to be
Which is nothing close to me
But I`ll see better when the smoke clears
When the smoke clears inside my head
And I can listen when the screaming doesn`t repeat everything I`ve said
And all that remains me and who I am at the end of the day
And this happens everyday
Everyday is a battle between what I wanna know
And what I don`t wanna figure out
And everything in between in these thoughts of mine
That you know I can`t live with out
So I find myself in need of a pause
I`m not sure why, but I think that it`s because
Of this desire to be what others want me to be
Which is nothing close to me
But I`ll see better when the smoke clears
When the smoke clears inside my head
And I can listen when the screaming doesn`t repeat everything I`ve said
And all that remains me and who I am at the end of the day
And this happens everyday
