another minute into this position
not so strong spiral down
doesn`t seem to be a reason
not to fold let go,
release the hold on vanity
you`re not just killing time
staring at the faces betraying your own basis
can`t sleep when discouragement`s withdrawn
from all conscious remedies
stop pushing accept what you`ve been given
seems like you`re trying for nothing
should know it won`t work out always chasing
a distraction all your efforts
no reaction afraid to shed disguise
to reveal your fragile lies
you`re caught in the promise that everything`s alright
but not convinced that standards will be recognized
sifting through the doubting hoping
to validate lost time
