I know you're trippin
and I keep slipping
on heartstrings draggin
and it keeps me laggin
behind
I'm trying to to catch up
and grab away that cup
poison
you've tasted it so long
it's made your heart song
bitter
all the heartfelt pain clatters
have left you a shredded tatter
wrecked
If only...
you let what's real
affect you the same way
you let the present
crush the past
like limestone bein
crushed for mortar
build something better
solid
instead of patchin a shack
built from a mirage
if only...
you let real acceptance
affect you so much
that you'd be flyin
instead of cryin
over the poison
spillin
if only...
you knocked down
those cardboard walls
that I saw
right through
let the light in
not fluorescent light
this time
unlock the door
open the blinds
if only...
you'd melt
that chalice down
then you'd find out
that it's
gold-plated.
