I live in a distant fantasy I play the role as whoever I awake You see, the reality I lead is something I can't shake I stand in slow motion while the rest of the world keeps spinning Unsure of who I am or where's the beginning Feelings only lukewarm Surrounded by a catastrophic storm Opening umbrellas inside 'Cause I can't seem to escape the rain Resisting all the grudges and the pain I never understood the mantra "fight or flight" 'Cause I was never one for confrontation And I've never been ready for the departure I've only been one to wait and harbor So here I lay atop a bed of flowers The dark cloud hovering above begins to shower Watering every plant and every seed Blossoming a new path from my lonely tower Everyone knows there's beauty in a storm *But nobody ever tells you what it's like to be so worn
