Turns out I can be meaner
Than I’ve ever seen in her
And I know this life is seamless
It’s all integration from experience
We ride the circles feeling worthless
Lashing out for no purpose
We chase warmer climes
In the worst of times
In this rising tide
I live that shit behind
And I’ve been walking these same streets on different feet
Not quite transcendental, I’ll just call it what it means to me
It’s the struggle from which I can finally break free
Just call it what it means to me
And it turns with the seasons
Every facet of reason
You could call it treason
Inhale the paint that’s peeling
In these rooms we inhabit
We’re all so fucking dramatic
And you can fill your time
With petty strife
Wondering why
You never walk the line
And I’m resigned to make the same mistakes
So don’t wait up for some revelation
I can believe you’d take me in your stride
Its like my shame has died and somehow left me alive
I finally feel complete
