Another minute into this position Not so strong spiral down Doesn't seem to be a reason Not to fold let go, Release the hold on vanity You're not just killing time Staring at the faces betraying your own basis Can't sleep when discouragement's withdrawn From all conscious remedies Stop pushing accept what you've been given Seems like you're trying for nothing Should know it won't work out always chasing A distraction all your efforts No reaction afraid to shed disguise To reveal your fragile lies You're caught in the promise that everything's alright But not convinced that standards will be recognized Sifting through the doubting hoping To validate lost time
