ACCOUNTABLE

I seal myself inside a box
Where there is only room for me
Regret hangs heavy like a despondent
Protector you can't see
And in my wallowing and sorrows
I find comfort in my plea
With voices swinging between vapid,
Neutral, solemn, and guilty

And they say
If you could just hold on for today
You could chase all your fabricated fears away.

Life's not meant to live in such a way
Hiding in the shadows of your yesterdays
This is just a crutch so you can say
That you're justified in feeling such dismay
You are the commander of yourself
Hard to swallow pills when you're accountable
Life's not meant to live in such a way
Don't sit back and wait for qualms to go away

I seal myself in padded rooms
And call it comfort in a tomb
My meditations feature musings
Of macabre and dark and gloom

My friends say
If you could just hold on for today
You could work toward happiness and better days

Life's not meant to live in such a way
Hiding in the shadows of your yesterdays
This is just a crutch so you can say
That you're justified in feeling such dismay
You are the commander of yourself
Hard to swallow pills when you're accountable
Life's not meant to live in such a way
Don't sit back and wait for qualms to go away

You could be free
And alive
You could be free
If you tried
There is a life to live outside
Even a chance that you would thrive
There is a life to live outside
Give it your best shot, you'll survive

Life's not meant to live in such a way
Hiding in the shadows of your yesterdays
This is just a crutch so you can say
That you're justified in feeling such dismay
You are the commander of yourself
Hard to swallow pills when you're accountable
Life's not meant to live in such a way
Don't sit back and wait for qualms to go away
