I think that sometimes we lose sight of who we really are by trying to be something that people will accept. I can attest to these. Almost all of my time in high school was me trying to impress someone so that way I would be accepted. The problem was how I was going about doing it. I was hiding my real self. I didn't let but the few people who got close to me in. What did this do for me? Nothing, because I wasn't the real me so the people who didn't know that never really became close, and so they all drifted away at moments with ease. If I knew then what I know now, my years in grade school would have been filled with so many more memories and so many more friends. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it. I wasn't a complete shut in. I am just disconnected now with that past life because it wasn't a past that was really mine, it was someone elses.
Conformity! Will be the death of you
These waves will drag you under
You've fallen victim to the deep
You'll never reach the surface
As you asphyxiate
The depths have claimed another
This storm will never pass
The blue is so inviting
Can you hear it! ?
What has it come to?
Oppressed and suffocated
The waters creep into your lungs
Just close your eyes and drift away
Anchored down the pressures rising
The twilight fades you're sinking further
Your final breath is all you hold dear
Just close your eyes and drift away
Just when you feel like giving in
You're almost there
Just when you feel like giving up

You're almost there
Feels like the weight of the world is
Constantly pulling you under
Familiar voices break the silence
Open your eyes the tide has changed!
I feel the breeze upon my face
It should be over by now
Time to wake up
It consumes me
It isn't over now!
You can breath again!
Left to drown in a sea of sorrow
A wake of regret has been stirred
What has it come to?
Oppressed and suffocated
The sea air fills your lungs
Open your eyes and sail away
Sail away
Hold fast until your sun has set
Your sun has set
Open your eyes and sail away!
