Cave Paintings in the Desert
Darling can't you see that you're holding yourself here
You can spend your days burying the past to get through each moment to find a hope you expect
You keep brushing dirt off of your shoulders until you realize you're buried up to your neck
Squeezing out every second of that hourglass
Watching it fall like water through the cracks
Chasing shadows on the wall
Hiding hope at all costs
Grapple alone with only yourself
Giving voice to only your faults
Crippled by who you were, not reclaiming who you are
Has left your future in the past
Shadows flicker in and out
Each one quicker than the last
Unlearning who you were is still loving yourself
Watching your life leave you behind
Fixated on finding an answer that will allow you to leave
You made the mistake of romanticizing your shortcomings
But never giving life to life
You can spend your days burying the past to get through each moment to find a hope you expect
You keep brushing dirt off of your shoulders until you realize you're buried up to your neck
Squeezing out every second of that hourglass
Watching it fall like water through the cracks
Chasing shadows on the wall
Hiding hope at all costs
Grapple alone with only yourself
Giving voice to only your faults
Crippled by who you were, not reclaiming who you are
Has left your future in the past
Shadows flicker in and out
Each one quicker than the last
Unlearning who you were is still loving yourself
Watching your life leave you behind
Fixated on finding an answer that will allow you to leave
You made the mistake of romanticizing your shortcomings
But never giving life to life
