I've been hearing things for a while

I wonder if it's my imagination running wild

Or the sound of silence screaming in my ear

Echoing to run away

Come here the voice says to me

I shudder, it sounds so peaceful..

But it's this daunting peaceful that at any second can flip a switch

The sound of silence can kill

Life running by 80 mph

No pause or rewind just a fast moving train

Lost in translation, nowhere to go

Wondering if these newfound voices in my head

Are they a sign to get up and go?

Adventure is fleeting

Certain things in my heart of hearts I know are worth exploring

Dazed in a memory

Book pages encapsulate me more than this boring life we live

What's so wrong with making fantasy a reality?

Words on a page can come to life

If you let your imagination guide you..

Don't wander too far now

Never know what sort of rabbit hole you'll end up in

But Alice had happily ever after

I wish for nothing than to feel more alive

Instead of just living

Difference is.. feeling alive is road trips at 3 am blaring alternative music

Feeling every lyric for what it is, screaming at the top of your fucking lungs

Feeling alive is doing something just for the sheer thrill of it

Feeling alive is feeling everything at once, letting it all come to the surface

Feeling alive is knowing something is going to break you but going through with it anyway

Just so you know you can feel

Breaking to rebuild is what I do best, but it lets me know I'm alive instead of mindlessly wandering like a sheep following a herd

In a sea of them, I am the lioness

Living is just letting time pass you by with nothing to show for it

Living is a standstill in a world where

I want to feel alive
