Feel it All

I'm sorry for the blind eye I have cast
Chasing rainbows through the ashes
Of a long and bitter past
I was waiting for the world
To accept me as I am
Now I'm struggling how to accept
Where we're going to land

I love it how the trees reach for the sky
And the geese along the pathway eat
And let me pass them by
But the rug beneath these wonders
Of the world keep getting pulled
Are they struggling how to accept
Where they're going to?

I don't want to wait
For a tragedy to bring my gaze
To where it needs to be
A million digital displays
But the wound is already open
So why not feel it all?

Standing at the pump and feelin'
Like I've got this blood on my hands
Just living life the way we understand
A tank of petro
The cost is so much more
Than any wallet can hold

I want to live
With a broken heart
But this distraction
Keeps pulling me
Pulling me
From who I am meant to be
End of the rainbow
Its color flashes
From within the ashes

I don't want to wait
For a tragedy to bring my gaze
To where it needs to be
A million digital displays
But the wound is already open
The cries are trying to get in
They're begging me to thin my skin
And feel it all
