For The Sake of Saving Myself

sometimes i look at you
and wonder what I'm thinking
i wonder where we're going
are we floating?
are we sinking?

the gravity of this
the fear of the fall
the push from my heart
the rush of it all

the fear of past failures
the need for some truth
the walls all around us
the warmth you exude

it's enough to make me crazy
but crazy i understand
crazy isn't that hard
after all, you're a man

nothing i can't handle
a game i won't lose
that is if you keep looking
keep searching for the truth

the truth behind my eyes
the ones you try to read
the answers to your questions
you just wait and see

all this could be worth it
it could all make sense
all this time won't be a waste
stop straddling the fence
