Pining
Heart is in a fib
Brain's been lying
Pining for forever green
Foundation needs refining
Heart is in a fib
Feet are like lightning
Striking deep inside the mind
To find what's underlying
Stars are shining
And gleaming brightly
For a child's mind
That needs rewiring
But he's not looking at the sky
Instead he shuts his eyelids
And plummets down in silence
Internalizing violence
Because he could heal everybody else
But couldn't give the same grace to himself
And it snowballs
Picking up speed and went AWOL
Careening with no sense of meaning or purpose
His self-worth is constantly lowballed
Made a hasty retreat
And turned over the keys
Crumpled in the backseat
And now the monster's driving
Heart is in a fib
Brain's been lying
Pining for forever green
Foundation needs refining
Heart is in a fib
Feet are like lightning
Striking deep inside the mind
To find what's underlying
Time is flying
Many birthdays have gone by
He's tried to cut it out
But he can't seem to find it
So he confides in vices
Plastic smiles and crisis
Can only keep that up for so long
Because the anger's rising
Slowly realizing
If the monster's driving
It's just endless fighting
There's got to be a workaround
Must have missed something
Need to quit punting
Time to start trudging
My way back home
Nearly ended it
On a mission trip
Irony was lost on me
Until I read my script
And realized I had abandon it
And gave my heart and soul the slip
My voice is spoken for
My body's packed and shipped
And so I
Went back to that overpass
Saw that little kid, with his legs collapsed
Lying still, near the exit ramp
I leaned in, he said
Hi Zack
I didn't recognize him at first
But then I saw his shirt
It was my old soccer jersey
Number eight
The words we're doing okay got stuck coming out
He said don't worry about that
I think I found a way out
And he told me
Confide in me
Breathe some life in me
I'm not your enemy
I knew that you'd come back for me
Confide in me
Breathe some life in me
I'm not your enemy
I knew that you'd come back for me
Confide in me
Breathe some life in me
I'm not your enemy
I knew that you'd come back for me
Confide in me
Breathe some life in me
I'm not your enemy
I knew that you'd come back for me
Heart is in a fib
Brain's been lying
Pining for forever green
Foundation needs refining
Heart is in a fib
Feet are like lightning
Striking deep inside the mind
To find what's underlying
Heart is in a fib
Brain's been lying
Pining for forever green
Foundation needs refining
Heart is in a fib
Feet are like lightning
Striking deep inside the mind
To find what's underlying
Brain's been lying
Pining for forever green
Foundation needs refining
Heart is in a fib

Feet are like lightning
Striking deep inside the mind
To find what's underlying
