Much The Same

Ive waited long enough and Ive been putting it all off
Its time I got myself going again
Ive made enough excuses to last til the end of time
Ive got to move forward with my plans
I tell myself that I am not cut out for this
I dont like anything thats happening now
But when I think of losing everything Ive done so far
I know Ive got to make it work somehow
What good is a friend if you cant look him in the eye?
What good is honesty if it feels like a lie?
What good is a dream if you never even try?
I thought that I was free and that I left that guy behind
I wanted to believe that someday Id reach the sky
And if I dont press on then Ill watch the new me die
And the sadder self survive
This isnt as easy as they make it look on TV
Id never have guessed it was so hard
And maybe you can hear it in the strain of my voice
The perils of it caught me off guard
But when you know that burning deep inside of you
Is not something so easily ignored
You get back on that horse no matter how many times you fall
Cause its better than everything youve done before
What good is a friend if you cant look him in the eye?
What good is honesty if it feels like a lie?
What good is a dream if you never even try?
I thought that I was free and that I left that guy behind
I wanted to believe that someday Id reach the sky
And if I dont press on then Ill watch the new me die
And the sadder self survive
My life is chronicled in lapses of writers block
Opening a window to let my feelings be mocked
You ask me why I put myself through this, to you I say
If youve ever chased a dream you know I can have it no other way
This is me today
