Like a firearm, firing in front of me.
And when it’s done, all that is a shattered scene.
And these eyes, see time fly by like a memory.
An underwater butterfly with, useless wings.
Too much input to my senses.
I overload.
The jury’s out on the consensus.
Of my soul.
Stuck on wrong side, of wonderful.
I been pushing on, I door that says pull.
You’re getting old, or so I’m told, it’s just a lull.
In this life I lead that’s so, uneventful.
Too much input to my senses.
I overload.
The jury’s out on the consensus.
Of my soul.
It flashes by in front of my,
Stupid face.
Anything else would be better suited,
To fill this space.
Too much input to my senses.
I overload.
The jury’s out on the consensus.
Of my soul.

I’ve been fighting, I’ve been striving to win,
A few battles, and some trials that I’m in.
It hasn’t been long, but the current is strong.
It’s pulling me under with, every blunder.
The decision’s been made, with every mistake I make I fade,
I fade away.
Sprung a leak in my, ship of courage.
And torn my sails.
More storms are coming, but I am worn down, and frail.
I’ve got no lifeboat, just hope my hope floats,
And I prevail.
It hasn’t been long, but the current is strong.
It’s pulling me under with, every blunder.
The decision’s been made, with every mistake I make I fade,
I fade away.
If I had a fraction of, the strength you do.
No calculation, or obstacle seen or out of view.
Would stand in my way, I’d be a hurricane.
Weather the weather, whether pleasure or pain.
It hasn’t been long, but the current is strong.
It’s pulling me under with, every blunder.
The decision’s been made, with every mistake I make I fade,
I fade away.

I’m about to call it quits, you better get on the quick defense cause,
I’m about to break.
You keep nudging me along, I knew right away that is wrong to,
Take it out on you.
You don’t consider it a day wasted away.
You don’t consider it a favor to repay.
And I cannot deny that it’s the truth.
Yet I’ll always stubbornly,
Dispute.
Like a child I complain and whine, you are wise and you know my mind,
And you know this will blow over in time.
You don’t consider it a day wasted away.
You don’t consider it a favor to repay.
And I cannot deny that it’s the truth.
Yet I’ll always stubbornly,
Dispute.
So many reasons, to give excuses.
So many reasons, to apologize.
But you already, you forgave me.
And you already, you knew I’d lied.
You don’t consider it a day wasted away.
You don’t consider it a favor to repay.
And I cannot deny that it’s the truth.
Yet I’ll always stubbornly,
Dispute.

What if I told you, that I was scared to.
What if I ran away, what words would you choose to say.
What if I wasn’t nice, would it make you think twice.
What if the world, ended today.
Think we’ll be a-ok, think we’ll be a-ok.
Think we’re safe from that day.
Think we’ll be a-ok, think we’ll be a-ok.
Think it’s safe to say.
That I think we’ll be,
Ok.
Life is a minefield, one misstep you’ll seal the deal.
Don’t know what the odds are, but that future seems far.
Think we’ll be a-ok, think we’ll be a-ok.
Think we’re safe from that day.
Think we’ll be a-ok, think we’ll be a-ok.
Think it’s safe to say.
That I think we’ll be,
Ok.
And eventually,
I’m gonna cut free, this misery.
I’m gonna learn, to be ok,
With myself, and everyone else.
Think we’ll be a-ok, think we’ll be a-ok.
Think we’re safe from that day.
Think we’ll be a-ok, think we’ll be a-ok.
Think it’s safe to say.
That I think we’ll be,
Ok.

I stood there at the door, I couldn’t ask for more.
Stuck there in a frame, I couldn’t leave, I couldn’t breathe.
And I felt so lame, my words sound same.
As they clog up my,
Muddled brain.
Doorways, all in my way.
Doorways, why am I this way.
Say goodbye again, go to leave and then.
Keep on talking bout, wish I’d done without.
Another word, now I sound absurd.
This method of leaving is,
Not preferred.
Doorways, all in my way.
Doorways, why am I this way.
I guess, I’m an awkward mess.
I said it before, but I’ll say it once more.
I’m leaving this time, I really must go.
I should have just slipped out, and not made a show.
Doorways, all in my way.
Doorways, why am I this way.

Well you bought yourself some time,
On Mom & Daddy's dime,
Convinced that it would be dumb
To lose all your momentum.
If you want my sympathy,
You don't need one more degree.
Just work with what you got.
What you want cannot be bought.
You seem convinced some of the time.
When will you make up your mind?
Taking chances and stances is no issue of mine.
When will you admit your fine?
You're fine.
You're gonna be fine.
I see you battle with yourself,
Like no one else can tell.
You can tell the situation,
By reading what your face says.
If you just concede defeat,
This senseless war will cease.
Just let yourself be happy.
Find yourself some peace.
You seem convinced some of the time.
When will you make up your mind?
Taking chances and stances is no issue of mine.
When will you admit your fine?
You're fine.
You're gonna be fine.
The path laid out before you is optional ya ain't forced to
Take that one way street that's meant to be two.
Ya putting up that forcefield, forcing me to reveal
The truth about you that you try to conceal.
Are you familiar with the concept of living without regret?
Stay open minded for happy accidents.
It'll hit you without warning,
Ya might change ya mind in the morning.
You can't complain ya situation is boring.
Would you rather be bored?
You seem convinced some of the time.
When will you make up your mind?
Taking chances and stances is no issue of mine.
When will you admit your fine?
You seem convinced some of the time.
When will you make up your mind?
Taking chances and stances is no issue of mine.
When will you admit your fine?
You're fine.
You're gonna be fine.
