lyrics

Appeasing isn't pleasing anymore
It's doing more harm than good
I used to concede to your thoughts and your needs
For fear of rejection, a need for affection
Hide my thoughts in scattered places
a way to avoid your disappointed faces
Just take my mind and my soul, an attempt to feel, feel whole
a way to feel a whole lot better

The shadow I was casting kept growing without control
Taking in memories from when I felt so alone
Now I'm flying over the dark and rainy clouds
I thought I'd never figure it out
I'm learning how to shine a light on paths I've never known
so many ways to find my home

I try and grasp the ebb and flow of life
It seems to be out of my sight
I sense it in my veins in my heart and my brain
the fog that surrounds me, will clear up some day
Days feel longer with these ever changing moods
Moods that conflict with my point of view
Viewing my life from outside, outside my own body
I'm learning to thrive

My center of gravity changes as time goes by
I feel the ground shift as I'm starting to drift through the tide
My confidence in what I perceive is wearing thin
I can see through it, it's bullshit I knew it all along
