Looming

You dig deeper with every movement
But crossing boundaries was not your intent
Cover your tracks while there's still time
There's nothing left for me to find
You seem a little less frustrated now that they've been proven wrong
But something tells me this is what you'd been
Expecting all along
And as the smoke is clearing you can finally see where
You left off
Letting go is the only way to find the silver lining

Have you ever looked at who you are
And what you've made yourself into?
Chasing dreams you've left behind
Leaving those who've looked to you
I bet it's hitting your soft spot by now
Destructive criticism allowed
Choices that help mold the ones we've become
For one thing I'm happy I know where I'm from
Family pictures bring tears to your face
I always thought one day you'd fix what you'd break
But that's the way it goes, and I will not make the same mistake

You've cut all the ties, but you still seem surprised
You've cut all the ties
But I don't mind

So close to letting you know
Now you've changed your tone a bit
