Different

I can see the sparks flying
Wheels striking the rails
You can always rely on
Someone to fail
Cracks in the wall
Threatening collapse
I'm so uncertain
Maybe, perhaps
But it's different
When you fail someone else
It's different
When you find something else

Now morning is coming
But I'm all the same
I know I've done nothing
But I feel so much shame
Whatever's been floating
Round in my head
I know that wishes
Me to be dead
But it's different
When the shames with someone else
It's different
When the shame burrows in yourself

Letting it go
Or holding a grudge
Either way no one
Is willing to budge
Don't shut me out
Don't spit my face
Look in my eyes
It's yours I'll erase
It's different
When you're the one who's been shut out
But it's different
When you can't find any way out

I can see that you're lying
Rips in the sails
Sailors who tell me
Ancient tall tales
Of monsters and demons
Women with wings
Rickety wonders
An old bow that sings
It's different
When you have to be told
Oh it's different
When you're stuck out in the cold
It's different
It's different
Different
