Tabula Rasa

Longing for the Non-Existent
Go inwards
more than you ever have
I'm not afraid
To lose his game
I'm afraid to lose myself

I offered Tabula Rasa
But you choose to see my bad side
You pigeonholed me again

(you're sorry?)

Oh, Too little too late
And it's like childhood all over again
No-one can see I'm working through change

So I was looking for a shortcut
To make it there
To prove I can
To find out who I really am

But shortcuts are for fools
Devil whispered "Come and take it"
He showed me gold
The unexpected whispers:
"It's already yours, it's already yours, it's already yours"

'Cause shortcuts are for fools,
Devil whispered "Come and take it"
So I did - the unexpected

Our hands were always there on deck
Don't need another fakish friend
You're draining me with blame
But they all say, I'm draining myself

So I did - the unexpected

It's already mine
