Part. I

A reflective state of mind, I’ve been there since day one

Learned to tear down expectations because I had a deal to mount

Side of a story crumpling paper crowns and meeting stony queens

For whatever reason I can’t get back in time by any means

Throwing my feelings into disgrace wasn’t intended in my dreams

But we’re all living the nightmare, begging nicely for acceptance like it’d be a need

You claim you can turn the living things with heartstrings into a bunch of souvenirs

But, in fact, you’re fooling yourself for another matter of time on the timeline of your springs

I can see insecurity through your eyelids, you’re not too different from many other types

When we’re turning off the lights, let’s see which one of us will own the crime

But at least you try -

Definitely, like a neurosurgeon’s attempt that damages what’s good inside

It’s quite the constitution, but you’re not sure it is that steady

When everyone around admits you’re crazy, it’s crystal clear how you have been lately

You might not realize, that’s why I tell you stories

About power, about glory, about your selfish behavior but sorely

However, as if would even matter the intensity

I just draw the directions from pure audacity

If you’re doomed, you’re doomed, chances to wake up would be so slim

If I were by nature optimistic, I would’ve said “give it a spin”

Pin your interests and waddle on, like it would help

To get the hint you’re lost in distraction would take too much patience, yet more stress

If your independence were understandable, maybe it could be, but goes beyond

The fact that you’re ignoring like a ghost, you’re watching from far

A lump in throat.
