Familiar as it may seem, I wish I had never been here before
The reccurring pattern of dysfunction: all the power and control
It’s not as if I’m new to any of this, but I wish there was a way to reach your inside and set you free

And so it stays unseen, under the surface
Right out of touch
Right out of reach
And so it stays unseen
Until we shine the light of truthful loving trust, it’s never going to change

You were the one I was supposed to turn to when I needed someone
I realize that I’m powerless, but at least I’m not alone
So turn your screws on any which way because I’m not playing along
You carry this like a trophy when you could have been so strong
But I am not to judge you anymore, I promise you

And so it stays unseen, under the surface
Right out of touch
Right out of reach
And so it stays unseen
Until we shine the light of truthful loving trust, it’s never going to change

Have Another One of These

You and I can’t get much closer, in spite of what you want
I’m done explaining
I’m broke at best

Non-existent

I lay me down to sleep and disappear
Disappear

Why is it you have a question for every single thing I do?
Why is it you say you love me, but nothing is ever good enough for you?
What’s the matter now?
Have another one of these—this will take the edge off

I never knew what it would be
Decisions to be made
They will tell you what you said and what you did to break from the futility and run

You speak through comparison, you speak in tongues
You listen suspiciously for gaps in my adaptations
You have no magic touch, please stop trying
You’re sucking me dry

I never seemed to get it right
It’s like a shadow hanging over me
You were the first, you were the last
If there’s a God, release me from my past

I lay me down to sleep and disappear
Disappear
