The disruption of this element is clear on my face
Reality has poked me in the eye
reversing the cold, neglect I had chosen
as my best line of defense

Reality has poked me in the eye
Now I am aware of the cruelty in my heart I’d chosen
as my best line of defense
to avoid succumbing to a subsequent status

Now I am aware of the cruelty in my heart I’d chosen
to rid me of the burdens of life
to avoid succumbing to a subsequent status
with heart break and pain, tears and shame

To rid me of the burdens of life
I ignored the natural processes experience requires
with heart break and pain, tears and shame
and went where the grass was supposed to be greener

I ignored the natural processes experience requires
I’d planned to make my own magic
and went where the grass was supposed to be greener
only to find that there are more complexities in life than I’d known

I’d planned to make my own magic
to make things perfect despite the odds
only to find out that there are more complexities in life than I’d known
The disruption of this element is clear on my face
