Do you ever just
Stop,
Shut up,
Turn your chair, face the wall and give your back unto it all?
It's a burden,
It's a sin,
It's a battle deep within
It's a primal need to just be alone and away from it all
Do you ever just
Freeze,
Fall down,
Stop thinking and draw blank for just a little while now?
It's so heavy,
It's too much,
All this longing for your touch
When all I ever get is stone cold demeanor from your brow
Do you ever just
Pause,
Clamp up,
Puff your chest, press your lips, turn a blind eye and ignore?
I can't carry
So I'll drop
All the weight that makes me pop
Because frankly, I confess, I can't take the animosity anymore.
How I wish I could resist
How I long for an escape
How I pray for but a day when all this pain would fade away
If you call me all these names,
Though I say it isn't true,
What if I just be all that you claim,
Tell me then, what would you do?
What if I stop trying to convince
What if I quit trying to impress
What if I cease striving to please
What if I act the way you say I do?
