A Story |
Standing on the street on a cold morning |
Its generic but its where you found glory |
Waiting for a cab or you could walk |
Cause its cold and the sunrise wont stop |
You think looks are a deteriorating commodity |
And I’m afraid to look at myself |
Cause it seems self hatred can be narcissism |
If you’re still thinking about yourself |
I’m good at the qualitative not the quantitative |
So I’m forced to change with each doubt |
And its not losing freedom |
Its losing convenience |
And I’ve conveniently counted you out |
Its clear that sometimes people don’t choose evil |
They mistake power for freedom |
Your having a party with nothing to celebrate |
Because you don’t even believe in kingdoms |
Bodega castles and kings storming city streets |
Suffering long enough to want others to suffer too |
Jumped the fence behind the cafe on fourth avenue |
To realise that this evil isn’t you |
Cause people who suffer want other people to suffer |
And I only people to work within parameters I can thrive in |
A wolf in sheep’s skin |
Its not a mindset that you can stay alive in |
If all you do is react to an enemy |
And do what you think they will hate |
You’re letting them define you |
Because your soul still cannot break away |
And you remember telling your mother |
«If you don’t like the road I’m going down you don’t have to follow me» |
She said «to be unique or to be one of a kind, |
Does not mean you have to be alone in your feelings» |
Cause real confidence is the willingness to be vulnerable in front of others |
You provoke me and then when I react you play the victim |
And then you hide under the covers |
She said «Mom will always love you but right now I just don’t like you» |
She replied «to knock on the door at any hour because at this house |
We will always welcome you» |
They say if you’re good at something |
You don’t seem to care about what you’re bad at |
And the hardest losses in life are the ones that you cant take back |
We can be robbers of each others time |
And drill our own consciousness |
They say freedom isn’t free but liberty can be |
If you choose to believe it |
We get stuck in this mindset where we say |
«We love you so join us or we’ll kill you |
It’s the safest bet you’re safe here |
As long as we lose your identity» |
Is another lie that were fed but honestly |
If there’s a place where you can be you to the purest form |
And love yourself as well as everyone around you |
I hope you find it |
Cause you deserve peace |
