Finding Myself

I've lost myself, I'm crushed...

Why can't I let myself love the one I love?

Why can't I let myself have the one I want?

Why can't I let myself enjoy the time I've got?

You mean everything to me,

Without you I am nothing,

But with you I feel nothing,

Life's not worth living and I'm scared.

I look inside and this is what I see...

A whole lot of NOTHING!

Can you help me?



...Help me, I can't help myself,

Find me, I can't find myself.

Help me, I can't help myself,

Find me, I can't find myself...



Rip out my heart, liberate my soul and put it in your icebox,

Inhale my oxygen, tear out my tattered lungs and throw them in your toy box,

Shatter my disposable dreams, destroy my life and stick it in your mailbox,

Rip out my arid eyes right from their sockets and toss them in your sandbox.



Taking away a part of me to find release,

The battle has begun; it's time to terminate the peace.

Slowly putting myself back together piece by piece,

I need you back in my life to bring me peace.



Tape me, rape me, scrape me, escape me, and reshape me into something unique and new,

Kill me, thrill me, drill me, grill me, and fulfill me so my new life I can pursue.

Lose me, use me, amuse me, accuse me, and abuse me until you destroy the enemy,

Beat me, cheat me, delete me, defeat me, and complete me so I can finally find the real me.



...Destroy me, I can't destroy myself,

Fix me, I can't fix myself.

Destroy me, I can't destroy myself,

Fix me, I can't fix myself...



Crack my cranium open like an eggshell, take out my yolk brain and chuck it in your penalty box,

Tear me apart limb by limb, toss my arms and legs in your batter's box.

Break all my fragile bones, fracture my past and arrange them in your toolbox,

Burn my lifeless body at the steak, take my ashes and gently place then in your safe-deposit box.



Killing a part of me to find release,

Desperately attempting to rediscover my eternal peace.

Still searching for myself, trying to find every last piece,

Please come back in my life to bring me peace.



Slap me, strap me, zap me, wrap me, and trap me to make me feel insecure,

Flee me, see me, freeze me, be me, and free me so the pain I'll no longer have to endure.

Hate me, date me, sedate me, elate me, and create me into something real and new,

Take me, shake me, break me, forsake me, and awake me because it's finally time for my long awaited debut.





...Breathe for me, I can't breathe for myself,

Live for me, I can't live for myself.

Breathe for me, I can't breathe for myself,

Live for me, I can't live for myself...



Set me on fire, extinguish the frigid flame and position my corpse alongside your jukebox,

Drown me in my own ocean of tears, suffocate me and hurt me in your witness box.

Shoot me right in my disjointed heart, leave me there to die beside your poor box,

Decapitate me on your guillotine, use my head as a replacement in your jack-in-the-box.



Destroying a part of me to find release,

Emancipate the animosity and bring back the peace.

The puzzle slowly gets put back together piece by piece,

I need you by my side once again to bring me peace.



Heal me, feel me, steal me, conceal me, and reveal me to the world in my new form,

Pave me, behave me, enslave me, deprave me, and save me from the world of the norm.

Strip me, whip me, trip me, ship me, and rip me apart while watching my transformation,

Blind me, unwind me, remind me, intertwine me, and find me so I awaken from my hibernation.



...Discover me, I can't discover myself,

Rescue me, I can't rescue myself.

Discover me, I can't discover myself,

Rescue me, I can't rescue myself...



Piece me back together, retrieve my life back out of your cereal box,

Draw blueprints for my brand new body and soul; take the eraser back out of your cereal box.

Build me a new foundation, shell and frame; my rotten remains remain trapped and caged in your dark box,

Capture my corrupted nightmares, destroy the past and lock it in Pandora's box.



Breaking my rusty cage and eliminating the past to find release,

The war I fought inside my head is now over, all that's left is my inner peace.

A brand new me has been created piece by piece,

With you by my side, the only feelings I now have are love and peace.



Control me, roll me, patrol me, extol me, and console me so no longer will I be confused and blind,

Tear me, repair me, prepare me, declare me, and beware me because I am truly one of a kind.

Compact me, contract me, impact me, react me, and abstract me so I will only exist in the mind,

Ignore me, explore me, deplore me, fall for me, and adore me so my new, true self I can finally find.



...Change me, I can't change myself,

Find me, I can't find myself.

Save me, I can't save myself,

Find me, or I'll be lost forever...
