"Head Trip"
Written by Kyle Rich

The picture on the wall is laced with memories of flying
You would think that a taste of sunshine would take my mind off dying
But what I feel when I think of then is a sense of loss I'm hiding
It's a place I can read about but I'll spend a lifetime finding

I use to think I would always be here, a solitary vision
Things change, it's a bitter pain when it's not your decision
Deep down, now I'm on the ground and there's a world that's up there livin'
Claim pride as the prize that I've won and suffer all I'm givin'

What am I fighting for? Why am I so afraid?
If I was a Superman, would I still know this pain?
Throw away all I know, it just gets in the way
It's something I can't deny, so why do I push away?

There's a place in the world today where the people are contented
But I know I'd rather mock and distrust the faith that they've invented
Than find a way to resolve all my goals that didn't make the distance
It's a pain I don't wanna face but I need to in this instance

I use to think I was meant for greatness, a king among the peasants
Grow old, find an easy foot hold, and steal my independence
But now I know I was meant to wait here and finish out the story
Rise up, see the past behind me, and revel in its glory

So what am I fighting for? And why am I so afraid?
If I was a Superman, would I still know this pain?
Throw away all I know, it just gets in the way
It's something I can't deny, so why do I push away?

And why did I wait till now, to let this head trip in?
It could've been years removed, rather than what I choose
And why did I wait till now, to find my only way
Is headed towards what I know,
Is something I can not face
The person I can't control,
That someday must awake

The picture on the wall is laced with memories of crying
Some would say it's a metaphor for all the things I keep denying
But some day I'm gonna find a way to be the barer of this essence
Cause all the will it would take to break me is nothing in it's presence

Cause what am I fighting for? And why am I so afraid?
If I was a Superman, would I still know this pain?
Throw away all I know, it just gets in the way
It's something I can't deny, so why do I push away?

What does it mean to you? What does it mean to me?
What does it mean when God is something we can't achieve?
Reinvent all I know, the reason I cannot be
The person I thought I was is still a mystery

And why did I wait till now, to let this head trip in?
It could've been years removed, rather than what I choose
And why did I wait till now, to find my only way
Is headed towards what I know,
Is something I can not face
The barer of all my hopes,
Covered in so much pain,
Is given his only chance,
At what will be my name
The person I can't control,
That someday must awake
