Staring at the ceiling and plotting out the course of my misdirection I'm falling back, just take me back Measuring the time by the comings And goings and stirrings in my own bed This bed is my island and all the room is my sea, I've been stranded here for weeks and weeks just waiting for some help, Spending my time drinking poisonous water; hoping someday soon some sense will return to me Composure We're all suitors to the dead But I'll be the warmest amongst the deceased ...Risking safety My best intentions, whaddaya know? Guess it turns out they were all joke Left for dead, but I didn't die Just got a view of horizontal life Left hands scars, formed from what? My childish ways and bottle of rum Looking back, can't find a reason For all the things I've done What's the point of you alive in my head When it fills me with nothing but loathing and dread Write the words and throw them away Burn all the things that I wanted to say Should step outside and clean my head And then I thought of something so damn simple it almost sounded profound Favoring solitude Locked in this room No reason for this No reason at all Alter my reflection to hide it from view I won't fall victim to This endless string of broken promises I've heard from so many sources of endless disappointment Everyone's the same Time has taught me well I've been so tutored by Being awake all this... Time has made me well I feel augmented by These lessons learned through so Who am I To let you change my mind? You were never my light Your absence won't be dark My hands They're open You can't love a heart that's broken I'm not that fragile I'll never be shattered
