I've been searching for a sign that will open up my mind
And break me free from the patterns I'm repeating
I've been searching for a way to break the rhythms of the day
And bring back some of its lost meaning

I've paid my penance I'm no menace how can I forget
Taunted by these stirred up regrets
Why can't I let it harmlessly phase through me
If I don't stop it will undo me
But I have not fallen apart yet

I'm been trying to find some time that I can call mine
Maybe then I can get centered
But every time I look away someone's got something to say
And a world of shit I re-enter

I gave you all your chances, you just hinder my advances
Wasting time on trivialities, as you please
If I could just catch my breath without you breathing down my neck
Then I might circumvent hostility

I've been trying to break free, gain escape velocity
From this dark planet that I'm orbiting
