Simpler Things
Be confident, be gracious
You take yourself for granted
I tried to be truthful and honest but honestly
I can't remember the last time that I felt safe
Let go of that plague tradition
Your potentials wasted by your crippled spine
It's always so easy to find (You know that I)
The black and white inside of my mind (Was close to the edge)
The grey doesn't matter to me
Was I destined to follow mistakes all the way back home
Was I destined to follow mistakes all the way back home
Was I destined to follow mistakes all the way back home
If I could go back to that naive young man
I would relive words that were deafening
I wouldn't warn him about what's to come
Or what this life will bring
Forever waiting, for peace
I broke him again and again
I'm always sick
But I always feel better
What can I do with all of this pressure
Where does it come from
My inhibitions are fraught by my inability to follow through with those I love
The things I want so desperately to do, poised in my peripheral
And as my heart drops from my chest as I feel less
And less like I'm headed to potential
With my compass embedded to failure
My waves of apathy drowning my dreams
Stranding me in a sea of mediocrity
Every time you look my way, you will never see what you expect from me
You can't fix what I am, nor love what I will become
Whatever that may be
Will it ever be good enough
It will never be good enough
It's always so easy to find (You know that I)
The black and white inside of my mind (Was close to the edge)
The grey doesn't matter to me
Was I destined to follow mistakes all the way back home
Was I destined to follow mistakes all the way back home
Was I destined to follow mistakes all the way back home
You take yourself for granted
I tried to be truthful and honest but honestly
I can't remember the last time that I felt safe
Let go of that plague tradition
Your potentials wasted by your crippled spine
It's always so easy to find (You know that I)
The black and white inside of my mind (Was close to the edge)
The grey doesn't matter to me
Was I destined to follow mistakes all the way back home
Was I destined to follow mistakes all the way back home
Was I destined to follow mistakes all the way back home
If I could go back to that naive young man
I would relive words that were deafening
I wouldn't warn him about what's to come
Or what this life will bring
Forever waiting, for peace
I broke him again and again
I'm always sick
But I always feel better
What can I do with all of this pressure
Where does it come from
My inhibitions are fraught by my inability to follow through with those I love
The things I want so desperately to do, poised in my peripheral
And as my heart drops from my chest as I feel less
And less like I'm headed to potential
With my compass embedded to failure
My waves of apathy drowning my dreams
Stranding me in a sea of mediocrity
Every time you look my way, you will never see what you expect from me
You can't fix what I am, nor love what I will become
Whatever that may be
Will it ever be good enough
It will never be good enough
It's always so easy to find (You know that I)
The black and white inside of my mind (Was close to the edge)
The grey doesn't matter to me
Was I destined to follow mistakes all the way back home
Was I destined to follow mistakes all the way back home
Was I destined to follow mistakes all the way back home
