"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
