Envisioning
From the backseat
The brutal heat
And burning concrete
Beneath
My bare feet
These stringent standards set before me
The goalposts are constantly changing
The white knuckling I'm always doing
Always moving, never choosing
The deep, dark bruising

Envisioning
From the backseat
The brutal heat
And burning concrete
Beneath
My bare feet
These stringent standards set before me
The goalposts are constantly changing
The white knuckling I'm always doing
Always moving, never choosing
The deep, dark bruising
