Til I Am Myself Again

I want to know where

my confidence went

one day it all disappeared

and I'm lying in a hotel room

miles away

voices next door in my ear

Daytime's a drag

nighttime's worse

hope that I can get home soon

but the half-finished bottles of inspiration

lie like ghosts in my room

I wanna go

I know I can't stay

but I don't want to run

feeling this way

til I am myself

til I am myself

til I am myself again

There's a seat on the corner

I keep every night

wait til the evening begins

I feel like a stranger

from another world

but at least I'm living again

There are nights

full of anger

words that are thrown

tempers that are shattered and thin

but the moments of magic

are just too short

they're over before they begin

I know it's time

one big step

I can't go

I'm not ready yet

til I am myself

til I am myself

til I am myself again

I had a dream

that my house was on fire

people laughed while it burned

I tried to run but my legs were numb

I had to wait til the feeling returned

I don't need a doctor

to figure it out

I know what's passing me by

when I look in the mirror

sometimes I see

traces of some other guy

I wanna go

I know I can't stay

but I don't want to run

feeling this way

til I am myself

til I am myself

til I am myself again
