Framework that kept us bound together.
Early mornings that I spent, waking up by your side.
For all my life I wanted what was best for you.
Your interests and your vision never included mine.
Words are just perspective, my emotions are still relative.
To all the damage done inside me.
All the lyrics and the imagery, I try to capture, to entail my frailty and my selfless seclusion.
The real illusion is in your mind, the entitlement and all the lies.
You've strung along a string that you can't tie.
Our mortal selfish ways, they set off greed and end in pain. Our instinct as humans is sympathy. Then for some of us, it's a game to break your trust. I've been played too many times, it's starting to become clear.
Paint me a picture with no color, give me a clock where time stands still. Have you had enough of me? Because I've had enough of you.
Grant me life, that I'll give purpose. Show me compassion, confide in me. Don't you understand the gravity of the situation?
The depravity of my indiscretion. Immoral illusions imbedded in my brain, they take me to a place where my bones may lie but I must become the light in a darkened world. Open up hallways and not just doors. Seek for figures in mirrors that look just like mine. Divulge the root of our anger and keep forgiveness nearby.
Chorus
Impossible, to change your mind.
Plea your innocence, knowing all along.
You're the hypocrite, disbanding ties.
To your family and place the blame on me.
You'll do anything to escape.
Confrontation, the confusion you ensue will always consume you.
