growthspurt

[Verse 1]
Exhausted, I find my way through all these lines
I didn't even need to rehearse them
It's a tragedy, it's a comedy
The mask is a dual remedy
Of all the things I feel
I'm coiled up, I'm burned down
I don't know much of what I say now
It's just verbs and directions
But I can't help
To feel this
Relation to
Everything that
I won't even stop trying
Yet the caltrops are dulled down more than I thought they were
This future is lumens above, but it casts this blur

[Chorus]
So I take my steps and, through these paths, reward will come
Shiny golden riches, chalice of life, or a world to love
And who's to say it'll come back to me
And who's to say it'll come back to me
Like an ocean wave
Tidal with atrophy
I see the motion
And I don't want to stop it, please

[Verse 2]
Make every second count
I feel my brain pushing concrete
Under my roots like I'm an oak tree
Glowing ever so fervently
I don't want this ever to stop
I wake up knocking on the marquee
Giving orders to no one
Was it me all along
Who was the one to call the shots
I call for shots
And I blur the lines
Of who I used to be and who I will become

It doesn't make sense to me
It doesn't make sense to me
With all of these past lives
Where do I accrue all this energy?

[Outro]
Its a growth spurt and i am done with faking it
