Extinct by Instinct

Stuck in the past The future is too open ended (too open ended) I can't miss Something that never existed (never existed) So I'll keep persisting The outcomes don't always go my way I still can't cover them, and make them gray The outcomes don't always go by may I will let decisions lie where they may When I blur the lines I don't have to focus Shrug my shoulders That's just how it goes, I guess Diving headfirst into indifference I'll take on everything over feeling anything Positive impacts are meaningless If I don't tolerate the pain of the negative Something I had to learn Was how to show care and concern You won't hear that your plea Will never be I'm shaken to the core Paralyzed by reality I'll curl up And hide inside This is my shelter To escape in (In here I disappear, Where there is no fear) Stuck in the past The future is too open ended (too open ended) I can't miss something that never existed (never existed) I never thought I'd have it inside To decide what is right for myself Proof of this selfishness that won't leave Crushing until we can't breath It's grip held firm It's grip held firm One day it lets go One day it lets go I need you to forgive me
