The Jungle

Folder: 
2008

Sometimes when life doesn't turn out how it's supposed to

And you feel so lost in the world, like it's a jungle

The sounds of the night, the scratches and screams

They seem oh so familiar, like every night in your dreams



Then you wake up, you're crying

Your insides slowly dying

So you grasp what you're close to

A comforting pillow

Not the one who everyone says

Should be laying beside you



Well, what do they know, they haven't lived in the jungle

Where everything you think should go the way it's supposed to

Until you realize your dreams are just as they seem

The scratches and screams are not what you're imagining



Then you wake up, you're crying

Your insides slowly dying

You look for what's familiar

It's just an old picture

Not the one who everyone says

Should be laying beside you
