Slower

It's been so long since I've been by myself
 And I need this more than you will ever know
 People like you and me never felt the breeze
 People like you and me will never know the easy way
 I scream into the wind and laugh
 As the words slap me in the face
 I would gladly trade a lifetime of convenience
 For and honest day or two
 It's just not the same when you're staring
 Into a perfect golden sunset
 And thinking about how you sold your soul
 To send the rain away
 It's been so long since I've stood on my two feet
 I'd really rather lay here and pretend
 But people like you and me never get that peace
 It comes from denying that everything is so screwed up
 It's so screwed up
 I stand on a building and throw up my arms to the sky
 I swallow my pride and admit
 That it's not always best to understand the reason why
 It's just not the same when you wake up in the morning
 With a smile on your face
 When you know you lied yourself to sleep to make it better
 To make it better
