Driving back home from nowhere
as soon as i'm alone, i feel the void
with an emptiness that eats into my lungs
i can hardly breathe, swerving in and out
of traffic lanes
but this time i don't care if i die
if i die here and now
because when things get better
well, they never do
peace, serenity
i wish i knew the way they felt

why do i apologize?
why don't i realize what i'm saying
before it's said, catch my breath
this isn't who i am, i promise
who is to know better than me?
well it's him, it's him
he knows me, he's what i think about
but then
he merges into you, and i'm losing
myself again
inside of you

i need to find a sense of clarity
myself and i
we have some straightening out to do
but i never find the time, the time or care
to ease the confusion that consumes
both of us
ebbing at my world
it's not until i'm all alone
that i realize how alone it is
i really feel
i cry and everything is okay
for now
