For the Sake of Obedience
Am I a man, or a liability Visioning myself out of home All my walls taller than me And the unescaped feeling of being alone
I sit there like a garden gnome Staring my fate right into its soul Thinking I’ll start sipping that Styrofoam Cos it’s home where I bear the insult
“It won’t work out, it never does” So much for your encouragement Wish I was with the clever ones Running free like a thoroughbred
Preaching at me about having no patience Look at you, you’re full of it What’s that word you’ve never experienced? Another one comes to mind, you ‘hypocrite’!
I can’t move on from your influences I’m reminded each time I forget Back engaged with those experiences Then you go and ask why I’m upset?
Wish you could see what I wish That age doesn’t define anything The opportunities that went with the mist When all my friends had everything
Seems like my words make a stain All I ever do is to be wanted I have the strength of an airplane That goes towards the wind and not with it
Tonight I’m lonely I can almost cry In the wake of my very absence Around you, I’ll keep my cheeks dry For the sake of your obedience
