Like paperweights in the back of my head Like layers of skin I wish that I could shed Memories I wish could be like the dreams The ones I wake up from and I forget But i wake up and it's all the same It's hard enough to make it through some days Just trying to keep my head on straight I'm just trying to keep my head on straight But I can't and I fall apart more often than not I'm okay with that if it shows you where to start But I can't keep those happy thoughts that keep me off my feet They all slip past my eyes before my hands can even reach Everything's not as it should be Including me Would the child you were be okay with who you are Are you really content with all that you settle for Do you really have everything that you need When you're faced with death will you go as confidently See that day's coming sooner than you'll ever know And you'll stand before the throne of the One who spoke the words That encapsulate all you are meant to be and all you mock In the end all that matters is if you're known or if you're not I pray you are
