Surrounded

Yes, there is something to be said About living in your head And never missing rent And yes, there’s a charm to the art Of not falling apart Inside your house of cards But you can only count on old faithful ‘til the day it loses faith And then you’re gonna need a new fable when the pages fade away I want to be surrounded by the ones who love me. No, it’s not hard to live alone When your heart is made of stone And fear is all you’ve known But no, I don’t want to waste my days Under cover in the shade Where no one knows my name ’Cause you can only count on old faithful til the day he loses faith And then you’re gonna need a new label to replace it as it fades I wanna be surrounded by the ones who love me I wanna be surrounded…. surrounded...

I fold cards and visit these old Cinematic theatrics, empathetic to them But pathetic within; bet I would win it if I let anyone in Even when I’m close to getting it, I hit my limit Flying the coop’s my prison, my remedy if I feel exposed No intimacy so, love remains a mystery Initially I kept falling into a syncope Triggered by the overwhelming ripples and their symmetry But these memories repressed since infancy Are complementing every single section of my symphony So we snap into a reverie, passing past the present I’m unwrapping my presents and I’m 23 Blowing candles out, where everything changes The year I ran away, made my getaway, saying It's really getting so much colder on the ocean front Where I used to go confront my fears and watch the golden sun Relieve my stress with serotonin I'd just soak it up But now this frozen tundra's only something that I hope To someday cozy up again, when I'm old enough to spend More time relaxing; that is, if I don't give up ‘til then Placed my youth in a box of my memories Titled it “Never Going Back”, and locked it in a cemetery... And oh, what it meant to me. ’Cause you can only count on old faithful ‘til the day she loses faith And then you’re gonna need a new fable when the pages fade away…
