Momentary Maturity

Moments of grace, moments of glory

times I can be myself and not be sorry

but they never stick around never seem to stay

unlike the clouds hanging in the skies on a rainy day

Clarity has become rare since silence became violent

when I said that I love you, but you remained quiet

reeling from the knife you twisted in with force

from my attachments to you I need a divorce

 

I've never been one to gripe or complain

but lately the way you've been saying my name

has left me completely drained

and there are terrible thing Ive wanted to say

but karma's a ***** i don't want to **** (with)

so I'll sing sad songs like you keyed up my truck

in a bad country love song

gone so very wrong

left here a knight without a kingdom

fighting for nothing just like Don Juan

 

But growing up means letting go

I hope you find love

some other place, someone else's arms

but never mine

I'll attempt the same and I just know we will be fine
