lyrics

Clouds have moved to cover all my sunny afternoons
I chose to speak but said the words too soon
And all my fears came into focus, bringing me to shut my mouth again
All these years, neglect, betrayal, kicked me till I struggled for to stand
I feel fragile, worn, and tired, there’s no other way I can feel satisfied with living my life in this world

I swear I slept the day away to wake up in the night
Cause morning makes them happier again
Shrouded by the veil of darkness, I can feel some sunlight once again
Cause summer days have turned to winter, breaking every glimpse known of conformity I need myself and only me I break away

Through all my efforts, my search for fresh water,
I have been beaten, hanged, drawn, and quartered
Stripped of my patience by people who loved me
Dragged through the mud and offered no other

Options to feel wanted again
Lost all control, numbered for strength to go on

Days and weeks pass by with nothing changing here at all
And for you I think it’s quite the same
People sitting idly by with faces blank like canvases unused
Looking at those photographs of people who could never be the same as them they take it out on someone different and they think that they’re the model of the land

Back towards my hideaway with items dull, a large array, that calm the masses with their smiles, just knowing that they set the model they can comprehend
