Fly In The Ointment

You're never truly there, but you're never really gone
You just sit there unaware that you're acting so withdrawn

You're just waiting for the day that the table finally turns
The best thing I can tell you is you've got to live and learn
And other people's obstacles are none of your concern

When they say

Find a positive in every situation
They have no idea what demons you are facin'
You can shut them down
Or you can put them on display
But the problem is no matter where you place them
It's impossible to shake off the sensation
They're still there for you
And they'll never go away
Never go away

Now you're two stops from the edge as your body tries to fight it
But that small voice in your head tries to tell you just to try it
Got the devil on your left and an angel on your right
Your mind is so distorted that it's not just black and white
The only thing you're thinking of is there's no end in sight

When they say

Find a positive in every situation
They have no idea what demons you are facin'
You can shut them down
Or you can put them on display
But the problem is no matter where you place them
It's impossible to shake off the sensation
They're still there for you
And they'll never go away
Never go away
