Harsh

Always the outcome and never the work
Haven't you learned yet it's making it worse?
Wanting the end but you're skipping the ride
Wondering why you feel empty inside
Get obsessed with these theories that you never try
Same as just waiting for your day to die
Make believe that you've practiced it thousands of times
Never attempting it outside of your mind
Always so sure that you know how it ends
Nobody's viewpoint could ever contend
Stuck up and certain you know how it goes
Watch out your ego is starting to show
You missed out picking up something new on the way
Settled for comfort and meaningless days
There's no way this is how you would want it to go
Pinned down and trapped by what you think that you know

What's been on your mind
You win every time
Thoughts with truth at first
Fixed on what gets worse

Must I define all the things I believe?
Searching for answers that I can't achieve
Make it sound easy for me it's been tough
How do you do it cause I've had enough
It's as if I'll be wrong for the rest of my life
Open yet dead set on getting it right
This is part of the madness that makes me insane
You can relate but you're not feeling my rage
Brave to stand up for the view that you have
Boundaries show limits but you don't feel bad
Courage to hold space for others and you
Chip on my shoulder with something to prove
I've been failing with everyone saying I'm fine
From where I'm standing it feels like a lie
Why am I always someone who's having to move
So I can fit in perspectives that you choose?

What's been on your mind
You win every time
Thoughts with truth at first
Fixed on what gets worse
So the story shows
You know how it goes
Must feel good to be right
Must be sick to hold that tight
Obstructed view

Shedding what's upsetting and what's getting in the way
Circling the endings of a detrimental replay
Losing this identity you dread to start again
Break down
To get up
To eat shit
To get back up
