From the new album "Paradox" arriving 11.04.21

lyrics

I see everything I want and I want everything I see
I’ve got plans and I’ve got wishes, I see possibilities,
I just look for someone else to take the lead

I’m a flighty bird that cannot find the perfect nesting tree
I’m a prisoner to pleasing every person close to me,
Have I become a whore for other peoples’ needs?

When the shadows in the night become my only source of light
And I wanna run from my own life
Not gonna let this devil take away my life

I am romanced by the forest but seduced by every tree
I crave discipline but impulse makes a puppet out of me,
Dr. Tom tells me one day I’ll be free
I’m afraid to show the colors I don’t think you want to see
They say comparison steals joy, I rob myself repeatedly,
Never finding what I want to find in me

Sometimes I lie awake at night, thinking up alternate lives
Of all the dreams that I have yet to try
Not gonna let this devil take away my life
No I won’t let this devil take away my life

I’ve become quite skilled at building walls to keep love safe inside
But one thing I have learned is that when love is safe it dies

27 years of life, you’d think I’d finally get it right
But the truth is it’s a constant fight
And so I lie awake at night with an overactive mind
Like those kiebler elves working overtime
And if I’m lucky well sometimes, I can reason enough to find
That the darkness comes but then comes light

So dark or light, may it be, I am free
Not gonna let this devil take over me
