Hindsight is 20/20
But I can't change mistakes I've made
I lick my wounds and hope that soon
My life will fall into place
Destroying expectations
Kind of always been my thing
Reinvention takes its toll
Just not on me 'cause I'll never change
At some point in my life
Chasing my dreams turned into being a failure
Well that's alright 'cause I like it that way
I guess I must have missed the day
When I lost the reigns and my social status changed
Now I long for yesterday
Can't you see it in my face
Oh how I long for yesterday
Hit the road bridge the gap
But everything was lost along the way
To keep my sanity
I sacrificed and now I'm behind
And headed nowhere fast
At some point in my life
Chasing my dreams turned into being a failure
Well that's alright 'cause I like it that way
I guess I must have missed the day
When I lost the reigns and my social status changed
Now I long for yesterday
When it bleeds it's like a busted pipe
Flooding the structure
Burying good intentions alive
There's no hands from sky
Soapbox of lies
No ticking of the clock stations
Or false prophet eyes
Who will save us this time
It's not a gun or a badge
It's the rotten crop from the seeds we plant
Can we change
It's not a robe or a hat
It's the rotten crop from the seeds we plant
Can we change
Bite your tongue
Frayed and numb
Can we change
Shred your tongue
Safe and dumb
We must change
Is this all we've been reduced to
Have we all begun to cherish hate
A public affliction with a simple cure
While our passive faces watch it permeate
Is this all we've been reduced to
Prison walls
Flesh colored
Barred windows lay in ocular comfort
Pulse countdown keep the fear alive
A crescendo of a searing ebb and flow
The fluctuating tide burns an imprint and symptoms grow
Sickness
It's all in your head
What's split behind my eyes remains unrectified and strewn about instead
Weakness
It's all in your head
Encased inside a world resting on a fractured foundation
Scatter plot point of existence
Self-medication and your new prescription
A tangled dance of crooked romance between brain and body
With an audience silently sighing why
Sickness
It's all in your head
What's split behind my eyes remains unrectified and strewn about instead
Weakness
It's all in your head
Encased inside a world resting on a fractured foundation
Suffer
Silence
Sequence
Seats to witness
Sickness
It's all in your head
What's split behind my eyes remains unrectified and strewn about instead
Weakness
You're not right in the head
Encased inside a world resting on a fractured foundation
