As Honest as I Can Be
“As honest as I can be, it’s not like you to cling to me”
She said with such sincerity that I nearly collapsed under the weight of the words
She knew something was wrong. Her instinct didn’t take too long
To see right through the half truths and disguises I had on
Who am I kidding? This isn’t what’s right for me
I should have figured it out by now but I’ve been too lazy
What am I doing here just lying on my back?
Waiting on old age and for an early heart attack
Don’t give in now to the mundane
And a second chance to breathe is the gift your words have given me
Lit the spark inside that I use as the light to guide me
Through all the darkest nights, through all these dead end streets
I’ll find my way again…this promise I’ll always keep
Don’t give in now to the mundane. Grab life by its head and scream in its face
Not for a second will I be commonplace
