| 'In'
Have you ever felt like the walls are closing in? Like darkness had fallen in the middle of the day For you and no one else had to be in the dark. They could not understand what you're going through With their guys and girls and parties all night. Music blasting, people asking for another shot Of whatever they're drinking, trying to get laid And you were making the grade in school But wanted more to be with them To not care what your parents thought. Or what your reputation could be like It wouldn't matter to them and you'd be in. <chorus> The group of so-called friends would treat you right Until enough of it were had and your friends gone Forever is a long time to be in debt with life. And life goes on and it keeps on the same As it was yesterday and Friday, Saturday Everyone is the same, yelling 'Where are you?' Have you given up on your ideas of what you'd be In the time ahead, would it be too much work For one single person to handle for some years. Instead you've decided to waste away Into something no one wants to be Unless it was their last resort Like you have made it become. For instances come along for your rescue Maybe it'll be that one who'll take you in. <chorus> But happiness is an envied quality for many Of the people who aren't feeling up to par With their goals thrown out the door Just like you may be if ya don't turn around And get over the fact, it'll never be perfect. We just try to make it seem that way. Is it worthwhile to trade your choices For a script someone else wrote Even if it'll be a little easier? I'm thinking that I'll just stay with mine Though I know they are not all right I at least have a bit of power, in <chorus> So will you take the chance And pass up the opportunity To let someone else live your life? Or will you give them the key To your soul and bleed into Someone you don't wish to become. (c) Charissa Tarnow All rights reserved, January 2004. |
