"Lights"
Blinded-
On her first step outside, by the lights in the sky
Attention deficit kicks in,
Once her eyes are finished adjusting.
So much to see, a lot more to do
Shes done with you--passing fad
Be glad she kept you for the time she did
Your former Almost Everything.
She opens her umbrella and skips away
Hums to the beat created by the rain
That falls from your face while watching her go
Theres more to life than love
And loyalty doesnt last much longer than the Fall season does
On your own again, kid
Look upward and try to see whatever she saw
Maybe being blind isnt so bad after all
Blissfully traveling through life unaware of all the pain
Falling off the cliff just like the other lemmings of today
Compromise yourself, boy
Do all the things you said youd never do
This is life, there is no amount of glue
To keep you together during this roller coaster ride
This humpty dumpty lifestyle: broken on the inside.
Numb it and live in denial
Forget who you want to be
Become what others expect of you
Throw in the towel, wave the white flag, you dont need an excuse.
She left cause you were boring
Not as bright as those lights
Loves blinding abilities only last so long before they die in the fire fight.
The lights of the world burn so much brighter
Than yours ever could
The ones who dont wear sunglasses
Will never understand you as they should.
So decide right now: is you or is it them?
Gotta succumb to the lights before your life can begin.
