Peripheral

Won't you take a second look?
Here alone I stand awaiting
Your final judgment
All the years, flights, promises
Can't amount to nothing now

Won't you take a second look?
I can't force the hand of love
Or claim it's spoils uncooked
But this is life, that was faith
Those were promises

I can't bear the thought of how

You kept me so
Peripheral
Never let me in beyond
The corner of your eye
Peripheral
Fearing inconvenience
You've abandoned and resigned

Anchor-less but still so hooked
To the dreams and fantasies
That lay awaiting us
I was deaf, dumb, childish
Far too late to play an adult

Anchor-less but still so hooked
To a future disappearing
In a haze of dust
I tried black magic
Witchcraft, and conjuring
Not a single spell has stuck

And you kept me so
Peripheral
Never let me in
Beyond the corner of your eye
Peripheral
Fearing inconvenience
You've abandoned and resigned

Kept me so
Peripheral
Never let me live beyond the corner of your eyes
Peripheral
Fearing inconvenience you've abandoned and resigned
