Just A Picture

Just A Picture

SOMETIMES IT'S HARD TO FIGURE OUT

THE WAY THINGS ALL GO

THE CHAOS IN THE ORDER

IS FAR REACHING AND UNFEELING 

I ONCE THOUGHT THAT I WAS FREE

WHEREVER I WAS I WANTED TO BE

NOW I KNOW THE OPPOSITE IS TRUE

I'M A PRISONER OF MY PAST IN PRESENT

AND A SLAVE TO TOMORROW

MADE MY LOSSES ALL THEIR GAINS

NOW IT SEEMS LIKE NOTHING WILL EVER BE THE SAME

TIRED OF FIGHTING MY WAY

FROM ONE DAY TO THE NEXT

THE SUNS SETTING BEHIND ME

JUST A PICTURE IN A FRAME

OF WHICH I'M STUCK BETWEEN

AND OUTSIDE OF THIS, SEE TIME GOING PAST

AND IT'S LEAVING ME BEHIND

AS TIME SO OFTEN DOES

TAKE ME, MAYBE, TO BE SPIRITED AND FREE

LIKE I ONCE WAS, LIKE I USED TO BE

JUST A LITTLE BREAK

FROM ALL THIS HEARTACHE

HEAPED ON ME

LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE'S A WAY

TO BREAK THIS SPELL

IS THERE A WAY TO THE BACKSIDE OF THIS HELL

WHILE I'M STILL HOLDING ON

IF I LET GO, I'LL BE GONE

 I'LL HOLD ON AS LONG AS I CAN

TO FEEL WHAT IT MEANS TO BE FREE AGAIN

HOW LONG ISN'T THIS ENOUGH

OF A BEAUTIFUL LIFE 

STUCK ON THE OUTSIDE LOOKING IN

THAT USED TO BE ME

NOW IT'S JUST SOMEONE ELSE I SEE

THE SUNS SETTING BEHIND ME

JUST A PICTURE IN A FRAME

OF WHICH I'M STUCK BETWEEN

REFLECTING HARDSHIPS TO BEAR

TOO HAPPY TO KEEP ME THERE

AND I KNOW I BELONG ON THE OTHER SIDE

FROM THE SIDE I'M ON

I KNEW IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE ALL ALONG

MAKES IT ALL THE HARDER TO TAKE

READY TO GO, I'M WIDE AWAKE

AND I KNOW THAT THIS CAN'T FAIL

BUT I'M SCRATCHING TO NO AVAIL

JUST A PICTURE IN A FRAME

THAT I'M STUCK BETWEEN
