"I scraped my knees while I was praying
And found a demon in my safest haven
Seems like it's getting harder to believe in anything than just to get lost in all my selfish thoughts
I wanna know what it'd be like to find perfection in my pride, to see nothing in the light
Well, turn it off, in all my spite, in all my spite
Just turn it off
And the worst part is before it gets any better
We're headed for a cliff
And in the free fall I would realize I'm better off when I hit the bottom
Tragedy, it seems unending
I'm watching everyone, I look up to break and bending
We're taking shortcuts, false solutions, just to come out the hero
Well I can see behind the curtain
The wheels are cracking, turning
So on the way we're working toward a goal that's non-existent
It's non-existent, but we just keep believing"
~Paramore – The Only Exception
When you're angry and selfish and spiteful, have you ever thought, maybe, just maybe, that these people around you, being kind to you and trying to console you, are not as simple as they seem to be?
Maybe they're just doing that to keep you moving, keep you alive, so that you don't fall before you should, so that you serve your purpose to the maximum.
It would be really nice to just take it all in, but I'm way past self-deception, so before I find out the truth, I'm going remain a skeptic. |
