Restless
I’ve never really felt at peace, at ease
Always worrying about those I tried to please
Growing up being the peacemaker
Molded me to a faker
Mother and father always fighting
Brother frustrated, sister whining
I tried to fix it all around
But I kept falling to the ground
I saw the pain in those eyes of yours
Trying to escape like a horse
I couldn’t think night and day
Trying to take your pain away
I had to grow up quite fast
Putting a front up for the rest
Trying to be strong for those close to me
Being a kid is not what I could be
Afraid to show my own skills
That it will cause the envy that kills
Afraid to lose those around me
That I was blind, I couldn’t see
What they needed me to be
All I want to be is normal
Not polite, silent, formal
Not speaking up my own thought
I’ve seen enough of those that fought
Why can’t we all live in peace
Helping each other, feeling at ease
Why inflict all this pain
There’s nothing for us to gain
Why did we lose each others’ trust
Why is love second, money first
All of this makes me so fearful
Why do we think oh so dull
I need the answers, I need them please
I’ve never really felt at peace, at ease.
