You may not get this one   Hell, I'm not even sure that I do   So perhaps I should explain my spiral   Of long winded short comings   Of checks and balancing acts   Of thrice failed attempts   Of unbound resistance to the way things should be   Of artful insight pertaining to avoidance   It's time, it's time to craft myself a new mask   And escape unseen from all of this      Fallen over just like the first time ages unwind   and past mistakes are tearing through my skin   letting out all the love I've tried so hard to keep in      You shine brighter than I   So unfettered by the lies we're told   Will I find the strength inside to carry on      Isn't it sweet? How the silence burns?   In anticipation of forced decision   And isn't it sweet? How our muscles burn?   When no one will listen   Will you listen?      Bending backwards just like the last time promises bind   And past mistakes are opening closed doors   Shedding light on everything I've tried so hard to ignore      A brief moment of inspiration   Wasted strings, to boost our motivation   My death will not be, consumption of this matters   I won't run away this time      You won't talk me down   I'm coming to terms with the lies you told   I've found strength inside myself to carry on
