lyrics

Back, on this brand new pace
and my future is behind me finally about to take shape
played like playdough, still no shapes though
I can mold it into anything that I claim so
Today I’ll fold it into all my prayers
Pick a few that fly through thin air
If it’s not much to ask, if you’re their
Please cease these stares and ease these cares
Life’s so unlike staring at these walls
But I’m too frightened to move at all
To enlightened to pretend it’s all good
But in light of it all maybe I should…
Would you care to join me?
The encouragement is so disappointing
And in this room I feel so lackadaisical
That a miracle could happen and I wouldn’t be amazed at all

This is not a book
And this is not a movie
People don’t even have to look
They can just tell that I’m not moving
And I am feeling a little shook
They win and I’m left losing
Every feeling that they took
They crooked without me choosing
There just biting on the hook
And I’m reeling trying to get them approving
Abusing every power that they have
To the point I don’t know what I’m doing
Chasing lines through this paragraph
Like there’s something that I must be proving
They’re awkward and i don’t know how to act
I think that they find it amusing

Everyday I wake up to this same bad news
When it’s me against me I will only lose
And the winner has only a choice to choose
On what he basis his hope, what he basis his truth
I can’t win

I’m tossing and I’m turning
And I’m yearning for some earning
Something’s burning in my ribs
And I can’t tell what it is
If it’s my heart or something dark
I just can’t tell the difference
But I’ll tear it all a part
just to fix all of these symptoms
and it’s been like this from the start
when I needed that forgiveness
I’ve let the flame grow from that spark
And it’s causing this dependence
And since this is all my fault
My fault lines are quaking past my tendons
I might just lose it all,
but I would find comfort in the beginin since
