Eyelid Cinema - Hit Eject

These days
I'm caught up in a what if? pattern of mind
I'm yelling out for anything, all the time
Just give me new lines
My walls
Covered in scuffed-up souvenirs
Pieces of my brain lost to the years
Will they still shine?
Sometimes I just make it up as I go
Just like anyone else I know

The whole damn thing is a show
And it turns out
Man, I can't do everything
I could change course in a redirection
In shattered glass I saw an old reflection
What are you trying to protect?
It's so much easier to hit eject

Cross me off
Cross me off these lists
I'm balling up my fists
But every swing I take, I miss
Maybe that's just it
These pieces were never really meant to fit
And all these routines that are making me sick
Starving my soul, watch it levitate and lift up
If I keep running into brick walls that I build

The whole damn thing is a show
And I'm burnt out
Man I can't do anything
It's like the only thing I'm designed to do
Is set alarms and sleep straight through
All that I protect
It's so much easier to hit eject
I'm running into brick walls that I build

This pattern of doubt
It's bleeding in
But you can wash it out
It's not permanent
