what are you looking for?
what are you waiting for?
what are you working towards, and do they all align?
if we’re the sum of what we do,
well tell me, who the hell are you?
and can you say you’re on your side?
you’ve been losing your own mind games
listen everyone’s got problems
but you’ve always got the same ones
it’s the deja vu that gets you
claustrophobic in your head
you are no unbiassed witness
blessed with less than zero distance
lash your body to the mast
no matter what the singing says!
though there’s no way to shut it out;
the call came from inside the house!
and you’d love to go down swinging
but it’s unclear where to aim
when you’ve been digging in your soul
for that illusion of control
and you can feed and name your demons
but that will not make them tame
—they’ll bleed you just the same
you’ve been losing your own mind games
you never learned to play to win
wouldn’t know where to begin
and there’s a level where you’re terrified
that you could be forgiven
but c’mon kid set down that stone
who ever told you to atone
for the simple act of living?
and it’s all been sung, but little darling, let the light in

A wild collection of songs with so much emotion, I have to skip Welly Boots at times because apparently it's not acceptable to sit there and cry at work. kavouri
