To understand my meaning, you should focus deep inside
Start a conversation that I now see was contrived
Yesterday was golden, today you say that it is black
Lost in interpretation now there is no turning back
Sweeping statements generalised, the line has become blurred
Everything you were against has now become preferred
Assumptions based upon your comprehension of my words
Explaining myself constantly has become almost absurd
Present yourself in one way to me, yet it's very clear to see.
There are many other faces seeking something I won't be
Cautious of the limits, yet blatant pushing on.
Critical of actions, yet encourage the same ones
Mindful of the depth you're trying so hard to convey
Shallow little puddles in everything I hear you say
Focus on importance and life's priorities
I know my place, so please don't tell me how to be
Do you know for certain? Is what you say exact?
Estimate you've given me more fiction over fact
One you white knight, two you would, three is hot and so it goes
Made me right, I thought I could, beat a system I oppose
Was it just to pass the time? To stop you feeling bored?
Now I question everything, the day you left me floored
Our words were never concrete, our thoughts weren't set in stone
Comfort in the messages that were sent to the phone
Something changed so suddenly, I knew that I'd be blamed
You don't want any part of something you can't control and tame
So go about your business, do what needs to be done
But don't you dare reject them, then still try to change someone
