You And The Pen

5 AM sleep won't comeYou're drowning in your thoughtsOf broken hearts and shattered dreamsSee, your faith ain't what it seemsYou're in a dazeYour mind's a blaze With your insecuritiesYou're sick of where you are and where you've beenSo you pick up a penAnd you write your rightsAnd you write your wrongsYou write 100 different verses to 1000 different songsIt's you VS the paper as you slowly pour your heartYour doubt grows larger and then you start to cryOn these open woundsSelf-inflicted wordsThat cause you to hateEverything that you areThrow your hands in the airCouldn't muster a prayerYou start to dieMan, I know where you've beenWhen it's just You and the PenYour hope is weakYour dreams deceasedThis emotional show and tellHas left you out of hopeAnd out of luckYour whole life is shot to HellSo all that's leftIs little wordsOnly scribbles to tell your storyYou write of loveYou write of hateYou write of all your faded gloryAnd you write your rightsAnd you write your wrongsYou write 100 different verses to 1000 different songsIt's you VS the paper as you slowly pour your heartYour doubt grows larger and then you start to cryOn these open woundsSelf-inflicted wordsThat cause you to hateEverything that you areThrow your hands in the airCouldn't muster a prayerYou start to dieMan, I know where you beenI've started to cryOn my open woundsSelf-inflicted wordsThat caused me to hateEverything that I amThrew my hands in the airCouldn't muster a prayerI've started to dieBut then you pick yourself upPut your feet on the groundBlink back your tearsAnd take a good look aroundMan, I've there beforeWhen everything seems so wrongThe truth of it is, that's what led to this songHey, man, I know were you've beenYou're not alone in the end‘Cause you've got me and the pen
