Red Hen

I don't know who to blame
Was it the man in the mask or the fool in its place?
Parading around like a wolf in sheep's clothing
Never needed your love until I got lonely

I could never be the things you wanted
Head down looking up to a broken promise
Aiming blindly at a moving target
Held up once again 'cause I lost my focus

Hurricane season has start to slow
Trying times will soon come to close
The dead end behind us still up in smoke
Only from ashes will true colors show

And I know that I was supposed to look away
(Look away, look away)
Hate always has to take the best of me
Stagnant but ever present
The truth comes out on canvas

Never felt so disconnected
Feeling low, the wrong perspective
I'm an optimist in a losing fight
When we're pulling on the same rope

Will you loosen your grip?

If you knew me
Could you love me?
I can't think straight
We keep stumbling

We keep stumbling

Wait, don't look down
At the peak of my game
In the lost and found

And I know that I was supposed to look away
(Look away, look away)
Hate always has to take the best of me
Stagnant but ever present
The truth comes out on canvas

Never felt so disconnected
Feeling low, the wrong perspective
I'm an optimist in a losing fight
When we're pulling on the same rope

How do you think you know me
When you can't even take the time?
Do you stay up for hours knowing
That you gave up your peace of mind?
How do you think you know me
When you can't even take the time?
Do you stay up for hours knowing
That you gave up your peace of mind?

Never felt so disconnected
Feeling low, the wrong perspective
I'm an optimist in a losing fight
When we're pulling on the same rope
