Too Close to See

A cup of two day old coffee
You're feeling like yourself again
You're still on your own, you've survived another night
In this dingy room with the same four walls

Looking in the mirrors getting easier these days
That old friend anger is losing its hold on you
The key to survival in this crazy world
And it's good to see you're still standing strong
Not too long ago you were tearing at a world
That would never let you in
Strung out, outcast turned away
You kept your face to the ground
And fought the world with your silence

And so the seasons change
And the people change
And the good times come
And the good times go
Found yourself in a winless race
Fighting for a cause you never believed

Its easy to regret not so easy to forget
All the stupid things that used to hold you down
You gotta brake that chain and move on
'Cause I know I've seen it in your eyes before

To surrender now to throw it all away
Is a sacrifice that you can't repay
In a world that don't owe you shit
You gotta think for yourself
And fight every bit of that piece of mind
That keeps you going on
Gets you outta bed and out that door
Get back take a look around and soon
You'll find there's something more

That'll come your way
With a little patience
It will all work out for you in the end
This is my song to a friend that never needed anyone until now
Some times you get too close to see
A different side of what life could be
And if you stare too long
It all becomes a blur and its easy to forget just who we are
Don't stare to hard, just take a look around ...
