Ashamed and alive

I'm finding my place in this world,
stuck between wrong and right.
I wish I could take it back, these things nobody knows,
I didn't want to hurt you and put you through this.
I wish something was flowing through my veins.

This is all in my way, I can't say I'm not ashamed.
I'm under the ocean, deep blue is all I see.
These other people deserve this breath, this chance,
I threw it away when I said I wasn't coming back.
Let the night burn in my head, fade it all to black.
I grew up believing I was something special,
the world had a way of letting me down.
Falling off a cliff, the adrenaline is lost and pathetic.
Lost in the back of my mind,
if there's a God and if I'm going to die for asking.
Am I dead to those who once respected my indifference?
Am I lost in different times and different settings?
Are my feelings and my actions meshing?
Am I a monster in your eyes? I guess I am.
