I saw the mire of truth
A calling refused, the folly of youth
I saw the smoke in the room
The masses consumed in spite of the fumes
But I stay, I’ve been falling for so long
Why do I stay in the middle? Why do I say just a little?
Why do I reach from the other side for all I’ve left for good?
‘Cause I yearn for a way out, for the hurt, for a way down
For the worst, for the pain now, for all I’ve left for good
For all I’ve left for good
I saw the body infused
With gardens in bloom, the liars exhumed
I saw them claw their way through
The throat of the truth, and iron the wound
But I stay
Why do I stay in the middle? Why do I say just a little?
Why do I reach from the other side for all I’ve left for good?
‘Cause I yearn for a way out, for the hurt, for a way down
For the worst, for the pain now, for all I’ve left for good
I won’t be what you thought of me
So I’ll leave with the honesty
The esteem of autonomy
Bitch, you owe me the apology
Oh motherfucker, you owe me an apology
‘Cause I yearn for a way out, for the hurt, for a way down
For the worst, for the rain clouds, for all I’ve left for good
Why do I stay in the middle? Why do I say just a little?
Why do I reach from the other side for all I’ve left for good?
‘Cause I yearn for a way out, for the hurt, for a way down
For the worst, for the pain now, for all I’ve left for good
