We sit and dwell Waiting on clear skies and our skin to do the same I'm trying to write down my heart Mint condition filted out A myth of perfection You can't move forward from inside a box Does it sound like I'm failing or giving all I've got? When I was younger I'd have laughed it off If you'd have told me I'd write with so much feeling If I say I'm writing down my heart Does it sound like I'm failing or giving all I've got? Words on paper give me so much comfort When the words inside my headΒ manage to loose meaning when they reach my tongue Pushing myself to just get through a day While words push back through gritted teeth No matter the forces that come into play I always find myself with pen in hand Does it sound like I'm failing?
