This Too Shall Pass

How could I complicate things
'Cause they told me not to worry
But I feel the breeze of thirty stories
While I walk on concrete
Step on every crack
I never had the best of tact

What I've found i'm the only one around
When shit goes down I always catch myself
Off guard

Spend all of my time blowing
Out of proportion that I
Felt uneasy and
Self Deceived

Until the day my mom said
Kid you better just forget that feeling
As the saying goes
"All of This Shall Pass"

Define exaggerating
Feeling like they all hate me
But they say I've got the wrong picture
"Just find a new way to frame it..."
The truth that I avoid
It burns the same as Polaroid film

When in doubt my troubles will confound
Shrinks in my hometown who think
They know what's best for me

Spend all of my time blowing
Out of proportion that I
Felt uneasy and
Self Deceived

Until the day my mom said
Kid you better just forget that feeling
As the saying goes
All of this shall pass

I have an awful habit of saying before I think
I have to turn away or risk upending civility
At the same time the words are misconstrued
Between what I try but never do
Upending others on the ends I choose

So after coping through crying
Driving for hours
Accepting we don't change
The way that I thought
I quit pinning my wisdom on
Elders and cynics
Ensuring the end of this movie's
A good one

As I feel asleep she tells me
All This Shall Pass
All This Shall Pass...

As I feel asleep she tells me
All of This Shall Pass

Oh-

As I feel asleep she tells me
All of This Shall Pass
As I feel asleep she tells me
All of This Shall Pass

All of This Shall Pass
