Dr. Awkward - Blank Pages lyrics

[verse 1] I feel this isn't who I'm supposed to be According to expectations of those close to me This isn't how I make the most of me The man in the mirror is nothing but the ghost of me Nine to five, working day to day trying to make it Wake up; swallow down a pill, just so I can take it Feeling sorry for myself, like it's not fair I'm all lost; swear my life is going nowhere Go to college, get a wife and live the bored life Twenty-four and divorced is what it's more like My life is ready for some changes I see the future is amongst these blank pages [Chorus x2] Open cage Open wings Open eyes to anything Sun kissed face, I can finally breathe I'm breaking free, breaking free of who I'm supposed to be [verse 2] Nobody has it easy, so I've come to find So I left that gra** is greener attitude behind Single mother raised, a single father now Doing my best since I had no one who could model how A young man, no sk**, less ambition But a keen eye at observing present human condition Lost in the world without an atlas, a g.p.s Too bad there's no road map to happiness That's because it's not a destination Don't have to search for happiness; it's born of your creation It's not profound, don't let it pull you down or drown you It's usually as simple as enjoying what's around you Do what you love and the money will come, instead Do what you love ‘cause you love to have fun Life without joy is a life that's been wasted Don't let those be your blank pages [Chorus x2] Open cage Open wings Open eyes to anything Sun kissed face, I can finally breath I'm breaking free, breaking free of who I'm supposed to be [verse 3] I don't dream because I never sleep Working every day, this is how I eat Take what you want; this life is for the livin' It won't be handed to you Only d**h is given Shake it off, shake it off Self-pitying is useless There's no end game in your excuse If you want something, it is you who must create it I look into these blank pages (I look into these blank pages x4) I told my son I would make him proud So every single show, I'm there to lay it out Keep it simple, no regrets f** giving up, this show ain't over yet And you can do it too, but do it right And never rest, keep looking day and night And if you want something so bad that you can almost taste it Those could be your blank pages [Chorus] Open cage Open wings Open eyes to anything Sun kissed face, I can finally breath I'm breaking free, breaking free of who I'm supposed to be [epilogue] Open cage Open wings Open eyes to anything Sun kissed face, I can finally breath I'm breaking free of who I'm supposed to be
