Live in the Moment

Way back, I took you at your word unquestioned
One day I pray you say unfiltered thought
Now my defenses are high expecting bullshit
My guard is up, these days I self-advocate
Live in the moment, I live in the moment

Year after year I tried to find a reason why your divide could never be justified
I put that pressure on myself and thought our bond was strong enough to never unwind
No matter how I know it's not my fault it doesn't matter at all
Still feel the instinct to protect the very fabric of all that fell to neglect

Way back, I took you at your word unquestioned
One day I pray you say unfiltered thought
Now my defenses are high expecting bullshit
My guard is up, these days I self-advocate
Live in the moment, I live in the moment

When I try to open up my eyes to see the painful lies, I can't help but cry
It's hard to keep sight of that which kills me inside and every day still I wonder why
One could steer purely out of fear and choose to push all the tears to a later year
Selfishly driven times of constant deception made everything worse in the end

Way back, I took you at your word unquestioned
One day I pray you say unfiltered thought
Now my defenses are high expecting bullshit
My guard is up, these days I self-advocate
Live in the moment, I live in the moment

No fooling me
The wool's been pulled from my eyes
A brand new day
But I can see the same disguise
No more dismay
Fighting hard is in my blood
Still gotta say
I'm sick of living in the mud

Way back, I took you at your word unquestioned (unquestioned)
One day I pray you say unfiltered thought
Now my, defenses are high expecting bullshit (so much bullshit)
My guard is up, these days I self-advocate
Live in the moment, I live in the moment
