Anima

Of all the things to believe
Why believe in me

You know
You're wasting your time
Trying to see
What you've already seen

Now I know I'm not cut out for this
Not just trying to live for me but
Just trying to live
I'm just trying to live

So, I locked myself in this
Ivory tower
Reliving the mistakes I've made
Hour by hour
Hour by miserable hour

My ghosts
That I composed in time
Realized they could feel alive
If they'd just lie their heads
Upon my breast
To hear the heart quivering in my chest

I really need to get this out of my head
But you're not listening
I said I need to get this out of my head
But you're not listening
I thought maybe I could get this out of my head
But you're not listening

I've seen how this ends
I've felt fire in rain
They say to choose life
Instead I chose pain

(In the rain I feel alive)

We live out of our lives
Chasing the stars
This is what happens
When the sky departs

I wanted to change
I wanted to change
I wanted to change
I wanted to change

I leave you my memories
To hang on the wall
To my friends and my family
It's not your fault

I wanted to change
I wanted to change
I wanted to change
But I chose pain

I wanted to stay

We live in the moment
But the moments they fade
And as time goes on
I know I'll be erased

I wanted to change
I wanted to change
I wanted to stay

I'll write the words you speak
For the whole world to hear
It's nights like tonight
I wish you were here
If only I had listened
You'd be here today
I could have been the change
I could have been the change
