Stranded

I've been blinded by everything that I could

once see

rescued by reality

I searched the world for answers

and it left me empty handed

And this is where I realize that everything

I've learned still leaves me stranded

'cause once you're on top of the world

it's easier to lose it all

Just keep waiting

Contemplating

Survive it through.. or fall

Once I'm ready to leave

my heart can't seem to stand it

The air gets too thin for me to breathe

Beating myself

as though I planned it

What do you do

when you thought you were ready

What do you do

when you thought you were prepared

Do you sit back and erase

all your once known answers

Or convince yourself wrong

because you're scared

Do you sit up in your bed

to stare at the ceiling

Do you go out at night

just to wish on a star

My mind takes control

of my releasings

but I can't let this head off

too far

I once thought I had the answers

that things would all be fine

thoughts of a naive philosopher

who, reality, gave truth to

in time

I searched the world for answers

And I thought that my ignorance was through

I put my trust in Reality, this time

but Reality

has blinded me, too
