Something We Can't Be

Dictate

What you think is pivotal

Mandate

Just for the sake of

Ego

controlling your decision making

The world we're missing's still

Ours for the taking

Accelerate

Into isolation

Gravitate

To comfort, presentation

Anxiety laden

Restless confusion

No courage, no confidence

Absent delusion

Most of us would be lying

Holding fast to denying

If we said we're all feeling swell and content

All of us would be slipping

Backpedaling, gripping

So tight to our fragile confidence

We're trying

Just to convince the world we're

Something

That we can't be, we are not

Afraid of

Being alone, of being caught by

Ourselves

With only our own thoughts

We're trying

Just to convince the world we're

Something

That we can't be, we are not

Afraid of

Being alone, of being caught by

Ourselves

With only our own thoughts

Activate

With hope and integrity

Honesty

The only true currency

Devastate

The guilt, not the guilty

And I promise a better night's sleep

Most of us would be lying

Holding fast to denying

If we said we're all feeling swell and content

All of us would be slipping

Backpedaling, gripping

So tight to our fragile confidence

We're trying

Just to convince the world that we're

Something

That we can't be, we are not

Afraid of

Being alone, of being caught by

Ourselves

With only our own thoughts

We're trying

Just to convince the world we're

Something

That we can't be, we are not

Afraid of

Being alone, of being caught by

Ourselves

With only our own thoughts

We're trying

Just to convince the world we're

Something

That we can't be, we are not

Afraid of

Being alone, of being caught by

Ourselves

With only our own thoughts

We're trying

Just to convince the world we're

Something

That we can't be, we are not

Afraid of

Being alone, of being caught by

Ourselves

With only our own thoughts

All of us would be slipping

Backpedaling, gripping

So tight to our fragile confidence
