| I want this song to be about something else
|
| I want to look elsewhere. |
| Focus. |
| I missed it
|
| But I have yet to take my eyes off the shadow I mistook for you
|
| Illusions create confusion fused with
|
| Feelings that I’m losing to resentment
|
| When yesterday’s nightmare seems like a
|
| Miracle its time to go down below the decks to avoid the rain
|
| Bury myself inside and wonder why you keep coming up short
|
| But there’s always one hand left that’s cleaner than the one that’s soiled
|
| One washes the other and so it slips away
|
| Disappointment fades, I disengage from the standards that
|
| I’ve made so hard to reach. |
| But do I even have a clue?
|
| Yeah, thanks for the fuck. |
| Nothing in a physical sense
|
| A mental captivation, a true exercise of imagination
|
| It takes every bit of my strength to say no but
|
| I’m taking every step I can to learn to grow
|
| Inspiration yielding contemplation
|
| Fulfill my dreams by tearing out the seams though
|
| I know it’s not what it seems to be
|
| Open eyes and toleration. |
| Self-reflection
|
| Open to rejection, apply my own standards to myself
|
| Rise stiff as a board |
