The Guide

Good morning, I awake
In a world that's so much different, it's the new age
As I walk around, I'm faced with a denial that's hard to shake
They're better than me
They all forget me
Can I be you just for a day?

Good morning, I'm awake
Kicking to the curb the things I loved yesterday
Hating love and loving modesty, I sing out with a smile
It's so degrading
And so frustrating
Will I ever be satisfied?

Every breath I take puts me in deep pain
But I love this oxygen rotting all the same
Everything I did was so everyone loved me
Everything I did was so I lived the life in my dreams

When you say, "guide me through this world," I know
Something must've happened, so
Don't you think, don't you think
That we should take the leap and end it right here?

And if you think that we should meet again
Don't expect me to be a friend
One more step, one more step
Until we have to do this whole thing again

All over again, do it all over again
That being said, it's not as bad as it could be
Yes, I agree
I really truly agree
It's plain to see, it's always been plain to see

Good morning, I'm awake
Turn that joking into hoping for a new day
And yet no matter what I say, you deflect me with a smile
I'll try to win this
I'll grin and bear this
But of course, that's all just a lie

The dreams I once dreamed are dyed in dark green
Is there anything I can do to change this view?
Everything I did was all I really could do
Everything I did was so I could stay beside you

You're saying, "guide me through this world," but it
Looks like you wanna make a break for it
So let's go, so let's go
We'll take the leap and end this suffering right now

But if you want to shine, you should do your best
Don't do half then leave the rest
One more step, one more step
Until we have to do this whole thing again

All over again, do it all over again
That being said, it's not as bad as it could be
Yes, I agree
I really truly agree
It's plain to see, it's always been plain to see

I know I'm mistaken through manipulation
And manic emotions that take all control
But grant my wish, if you could give me this
Then maybe I could let this go

You're saying, "guide me through this world," again
Don't play with me, I'm tired of this
How 'bout you, how 'bout you
Take on my role and see just what you can do?

You don't have to try or even do your best
You might even feel envious
One more step, one more step
You'll never get to do the same thing again

All over again, do it all over again
That being said, it's not as bad as it could be
Yes, I agree
I really truly agree
It's plain to see, it's always been plain to see

If this is a lie or a delusion, I might
Ask that in kind, you'll let me cash out my regrets, hey
Save me the pain, don't wanna do this again
Please cut me off, c'mon and please cut me off
Right now
