That strange stage of heart ache
Half past one and heart break
You know when the train’s coming
How fast it’s going
And that you’re standing
Where it’s headed
But instead
You stretch out your hand
And under the sand
Bury your head in
Below the tracks and
Drown out the facts
To warning bells,
You dance the dance
Chance after chance
Singing the song
Go along
To get along
What a tired trance
Of bombshells and quells
That numb your sense
Of right and wrong
Cause there are worlds
Between the words
“Settled” and “content”
And despite his range,
you can’t interchange
"Relent" with "consent"
So don't quibble over significant
Instead, realize the significance
Between mincing words
And the words you mince
"Ego" versus "confidence"
"Resolution" versus "resolve"
The sand line drawn:
Evolve or absolve
And don't forget
When it's dissolved
It was always in his hands
To solve
Remember your "imposition"
You want someone to want...
Someone who wants you
Someone to tell your stories to
To tell your stories about
Someone who craves you
Braves, slaves, ungraves you
Someone who droughts the doubt
Cause he’ll always be tough
You’ll never feel enough
He cant see you,
Never did,
Frankly couldn’t
If he wanted to
And besides,
A flame
By any other name
Will still burn you
Just the same
So swallow it in stride
Cause you'll never be satisfied
You’d always have to hide
The best of you inside
Wondering how much
You don’t see or know
Or what changed
And was it you?
It wasn’t.
You know it wasn’t
It’s not your fault,
But it’s still true
Cause there’s no unwriting
No matter how you push it off or
Push it down
There’s no unhearing
Or unseeing
Or unfeeling
The "goodbye," now
Its the heady I’m done
It’s the know your worth
And then add tax
It’s the this will never work
So go ahead and
Strike the match
Light the fuse
Pull the pin
Yeah, go on now,
Toss it in
Take cover
Under another
And unlearn it all again.
