Braille - Half The Battle lyrics

[Intro] No one. None. The idea's become obnoxious. I watch the clock as I practice. Time slips though my fingers Quicker than I thought it would. Okay [Hook] No one to talk to except the voices in my head The voices are the ones telling me to go to bed No one to talk to except the voices in my head The voices are the ones telling me to go to bed [Verse One] I feel like a hero, I wanna rescue My journey's illuminated by sentimental value I'm here for you, who made me like this? The night gets dark enough to shut down my eyelids I don't give up, my shirt is your blanket Sudden movement always keeps a quiet man alert You're sleeping on my shirt, I hear it Shades of ba** in the distance My patience begin to melt I built no room for explanation The remains of my brain splash against my protection I'm the man in the mirror, I'm the criminal's reflection I'm empty, serving justice before you let me I barely ever get to share my poetry Cla**, put down your pencils, it's now 8:30 It's now 2:30, retire from your desk I said to go to bed, but you're headed towards the deck [Hook] No one to talk to except the voices in my head The voices are the ones telling me to go to bed You're not smart, but that doesn't mean you're stupid I'm not smart, I've always been creative It's not something I decided I was It happened when I wrote how I was feeling cause I never say never, and the fact I won't say it Is the reason that I don't believe it [Verse Two] That still doesn't explain all this meaningless time When there's no one home, and there's no one alive My mind disappears yet things remain clear It's part of my nature as I creep down the stairs There's people under the stairs who don't seem to care They say go to bed in a tone that makes me scared Beware, discovery destroys my purpose Thinking about thinking, wrestling in bar dust I can't put my finger on it, it's part of human science My life's an experiment, tears went rolling down my shoulder Well, I'll understand this battle when I'm older I'm glad when it's over, release me from this cage People always tell me that I'm mature for my age But I haven't wrote one mature line on this page I'm just a teenage capture in a teenage stage [Hook] [Verse Three] I don't make suggestions, I just answer questions So if you're not asking, then we're probably not talking From school to dinner was always isolation And after dinner time, everyone started sleeping I've beaten all these ideas into my head And it seems that by now, I should deserve to go to bed Physically, with energy, there's plenty of me left But mentally I've gently been beaten to d**h But mentally I've gently been beaten to d**h [Hook] I never say never Never ever ever
