Mexico

Dead inside
Plastic on the outside
That's melting in this scorching heat
Oh, the pavement glares for days
I was
Wide eyed
Until the facts replaced my sights
Now a lock and key
Are the cuffs to keep me
Where I thought I'd want to stay

Promises
They lie buried
My own gravestone
Carved and ready
Wishing I could jump the fence
My dreams I'll never know
Pack my bags
Head back to Mexico

Worthless and dry
Thirsty, I search for meaning in all
These lies I let myself believe
I'm trapped inside the haze
Grey skies
Flooded with pollution
Not a star in sight to
Guide me back to youth
My self lost in the maze

Promises
They lie buried
Happiness I didn't marry
Wishing I was still naive
To dream, to fly, to grow
Wish I could pack my bags
Head back to Mexico

I am nothing
Said I would be something
Yet here I am and I am nothing
It's funny how life goes
Searched for something
Now I have and I am nothing
More than footprints lost in the deserts of Mexico
Unpack the bags
Cry
Let it all go
