I look away for fear of perception They look at me and sense my truth One breath taken in awe of you And I’m open to raillery. No secret could ever give more
fear of tension No mockery would give this kind of
tortured youth But one trip, one slip of
sure-foot hooves Can finally give me space to
breathe Oh who am I kidding? Things like that just don’t fall
to me I’m not that lucky So I’ll just bide my time in
misery I can’t reach out with the arms
that long to hold you close to me They’re trapped inside, victims of
the game we call society But even if I could with no
consequences, I would leave you be I’m assuming you’re not to be had,
at least not by me But assumption is the excuse for
not going after our dreams When can I wash away this
deception? When can my honest self shine
through – With no fear of condemnation For only being me I live in shadows, No one can see in through to me Secret aim for happiness – Just one time where I can be free But I can’t reach out with the
arms that long to hold you close to me They’re trapped inside, victims of
the game we call society But even if I could with no
consequences, I would leave you be I’m assuming you’re not to be had,
at least not by me But assumption is the excuse for
not going after our dreams I can live through their venom and
acid undertones My great achievement will be
coming into my own With no faintheartedness, I’ll be
strong I’ll be what I should have been
all along And I will reach out with the arms
that long to hold you close to me No more trapped inside, fearless
of the game we call society And it don’t matter if there’ll be
consequences, I won’t leave you be I won’t assume that you’re not to
be had, I’ll have you for me ‘Cause assumption is the excuse
for not going after our dreams Perhaps things will be difference
than what I see, I’ll be free to be free And I’ll smile forever knowing I
conquered my wildest dreams |
