Avoiding the Issue (Explicit)

So wherever your thoughts go

In a moment of collapse is what your heart knows.

Speaks direct and stern. It shows,

And your water is shallow.

Don’t make any sudden movements, fear the unknown.

Never sink or swim, barely try to float.

Clock says times up.

You reset it.

Never face your

Deepest regrets.

Push everyone out, then wonder where we all went.

Owe it to yourself to try, but for so long you’ve been spent.

Are you avoiding the issue?

Are you avoiding the issue?

Fight your demons alone, about 100 to one.

Remove the hand from your shoulder, wish you still had someone.

Are you avoiding the issue?

Are you avoiding the issue?

“Set in stone” is an excuse.

Never try at all and claim that you always lose.

What a dumb cop out to choose,

Feeling easy in recluse,

But I’m hanging on the window

That you left open when you closed the door.

(I’m so sick of always wondering if you’re alright.)

Sick of wondering if you’re alright.

Push everyone out, then wonder where they all went.

Owe it to yourself to try, but for so long you’ve been spent.

Are you avoiding the issue?

Are you avoiding the issue?

Fight your demons alone, about 100 to one.

Remove the hand from your shoulder, wish you still had someone.

Are you avoiding the issue?

You’re not gonna fight this, are you?

****.
