Turmoil - CANDOUR
I'm bound to my existential crisis and so I stand here frozen in time
I have no prospects of moving on so I stand here just waiting to die
If being pierced through the heart with words as sharp as sin wasn't enough
Your teardrops stained the pillow red where you head used to lie next to mine
I always knew you were a sucker for turmoil
Made me watch as you calmed the seas
I admit, it was fascinating from all sides
But not as much when you're behind the scenes
When my doubt started becoming obvious
I knew you wouldn't like me anymore
At least like you used to before
Your carefully drafted replies, outshone those shiny lies
And that blinding light cut through my dreams sharper than a knife
Suddenly the air turned maroon and the heat rushed to my face
And I felt the gravity intensify as I tried to fly away
I always knew you were a sucker for turmoil
Made me watch as you calmed the seas
I admit, it was fascinating from all sides
But not as much when you're behind the scenes
When my doubt started becoming obvious
I knew you wouldn't like me anymore
At least like you used to before
I can't be the problem in every conversation
Especially when I'm complaining about you
You get to be the Starlight that vanishes every dark sky
Even when it's you who's dark cloud reigns over every city line
You can't get too far in a stolen car
And hide under false pretenses for too long
I'm not cut out for voluntary skepticism
Suspicion has always been my forte
You could never see things from the bright side
Even if something worthy slapped you in the face
I always knew you were handy in a good fight
Somehow you knew just what to say
You cleared the air and pinned it on the bad times
You love to stroke the fires of deceit anyway
I always knew you were a sucker for turmoil
Made me watch as you calmed the seas
I admit, it was fascinating from all sides
But not as much when you're behind the scenes
When my doubt started becoming obvious
I knew you wouldn't like me anymore
At least like you used to before.
