#yesimchanging
Once dreamt of a comfortable life I would've taken the easy path Chasing glory was paramount Fearful-avoidant attachment I lived on a different pocket With a collected wisdom Gathered from experience I still chose to depart and not see you grow A state i mistook for permanence Awkward in my dependence Lacking voice to ask direction Or the courage to ask for help Essential humility is ill fitting Church ain't out till they quit singing I stand stoic in hesitation Feeling strange in the role of change Time slowly turned the page The change I fear So hard, so cruel Win a war yet take the blame Changing partners, changing clothes Too late upon closer inspection Can't dish it but I can't take it I just wanna be better But I guess that's not allowed In a world where people take hope And turn it to doubt Tell me I'll be the same 'Til I'm dead in the ground. The solution to cure my greed Illuminated exactly what I need I'm the one with needs Here’s to a better tomorrow, And a mentally taxing present If only I could afford to behave Everyone's proud with flowers in my grave But when I get told what I'm not supposed to say Do you expect me to make a change? How can I give an answer if it's something I can't explain? When I've paid my sentence, then can I go out and play? It seems to me The more things change The more they stay the same I wonder how the rules evolve But we keep at the same game And though tired at competing We're addicted to the bother For when we lose we need to prove And when we win we need another And though we're all exhausted We're spurred on by the lives And I feel I've lived a million lies And tried a million tries Essential humility is ill fitting Church ain't out till they quit singing
