Middle Ground

But I’ve got something rotten within

The depths of our gene pool meant it was not big lottery win

I look at the pictures on the wall looking for something that I never saw before

I was looking for a way out and I found it

But the way out isn't looking too good

I was looking for your comfort when I found it comfort wasn’t something you knew

I was looking for you to make it easier But I feel like something in your teeth

My efforts go unnoticed in-between the sweet sickly treats

Maybe I was born for the middle ground

Born for the middle ground

For something bigger then you

But your house was such an ecosystem

When I left nothing grew

Pin you like a post card on a wall

To look at when I’m feeling low

With age you grow softer

Where was this kindness when I was younger I see you watching her with different eyes

Singing nursery rhymes now you have the time

I was looking for a way out and I found it

But the way out isn't looking too good

I was looking for your comfort when I found it comfort wasn’t something you knew

I was looking for you to make it easier but I feel like something in your teeth

My efforts go unnoticed in-between the sweet sickly treats

I know that its all time and place

But you birthed me into a new age

And that nothing hurts like the distance of growing older

You’ve got no voice in a world you used

Hold up

Born for the middle ground

Born for the middle ground

Born for something bigger than you

And I can't help No I can't help

No I can't help No I can't help

No I can't help No I can't help

That I outgrew
