Matchstik Francis - 15 Lyrics

My best friend once told me
"Hold your head up to the sky"
I said "Listen man, I'm trying
But I just don't think I'm the guy"
He spoke of untold promise land
A place to fill my pride
I just don't see any point
I'd much rather stay inside
I swim in a pool of regret
I swim in a pool full of lies
I feel the sorrow in my heart
And I see the pain in your eyes
But this is a story about me
A plea of silent cries
And I tell it all to you
So you can sit back and sigh
The lord himself goes before you
And will always be with you
He will never let you down
Leave you or forsaken you
Those were the words I had read
But I had never heard them spoken
How am I to tell if I'll forever be broken
I keep writing, I keep reading
I keep sighting, I keep seeing
I keep wondering the worth of being, yeah
But I just can't seem to find the time or a place to think
I just want to know what it all means
If there's an answer to all my dreams

And I found this girl she understands me
But she's not gonna fix me
Like a monkey in a cage
I think the world's just playing tricks on me
This is all that I have
This is all that I am
And I dream of the day
To say it's all that I was
The day that I get some buzz
The day I hit number one
But that's the end of my high
And now I'm down on the floor
Screaming give me some more
So that my mind isn't sore
So that my bodies not depressed

So that my mind isn't sore
And that my bodies not depressed

So that my mind isn't sore
And that my bodies not depressed
