Far Gone

This was all a dream
But I don't want this anymore
Get your hands off my words
Walk your feet through the door
There's nothing left to listen to
I've unplugged every wire
And sealed up every outlet
I feel so uninspired because

With everything I do
I get so psyched out
What happened to my confidence
What is all this self doubt
I guess I can't survive
On 15 seconds of fame
It seems like everything bugs out
When I figure out the game

What was my dream
What do I want anymore
Maybe something different
Than what I'm looking for
Was it my name in lights
Or just someone to respond
Will I find myself here
Or is that too far gone

I can't clear this hurdle
No energy left for a leap
I would crawl through the underground
But I find myself asleep
Someone has it worse than me
Probably the neighbors do
I still haven't met them yet
And don't ever want to

Someone else is out there
Scrolling through a stack
Of contradictions, fantasizing
About a rose-colored way-back
When we would waste our lives
And turn our heads away
We either drown in the injustice
Or inhale fumes of hate

What was my dream
What do I want in my mind
Maybe something different
From a previous time
Like when you had to rewind tapes
And people smoked on planes
Will I find myself there
Or is today the same

What was my dream
What do I want anymore
Maybe something different
Than what I'm looking for
Was it my name in lights
Or just someone to respond
Will I find myself there
Or is that too far gone
