Household - Grimson

I learned this trick at a young age Never live in the spotlight I took all the goodness that I could find, held it up to the night If I could give it all away, let the wind sweep it out of my hands I could be free from the burden of lonesome pride I'd be clean The mind trails off until I snap back The weight was simply replaced with shame Facing the sun in hopes to stay warm, even without you How did I find the time to be gone so much? And see there it is, whispering to me like always You're familiar You've become my lullaby for quite some time now The mind trails off until I snap Can I correct all of layers of lies? Risk taking, letting myself be known to you Offering all the pain and my goodness in hopes of what it could do Maybe I'll find that true freedom And maybe I'll hold it for a night Courage calls me out from my shell Liberation waits until I bloom, bloom, bloom Shame, haven't you had enough of me yet? You're beginning to take all that I am Haven't you had, all that you want? You're beginning to take away Haven't you had, all that you want? I know you've had all of me Haven't you had, all that you want? All of me So instead of pushing you away by needing you to Stay, I refrain from casually allowing this shame to stay And allow you to leave, allow you to go, Allow you to be whatever it is that you get to be

Pride first The divide is set so stay on your side. Side They never tell you of why. Waiting for change. Waiting for collide. It's a safe safe good world, spinning along with us in colored dirt. Indeed life has taken it's toll, But maybe in our pride, we've have made it worse. Am I alive, or is this a lie making a liar out of me? If I can't touch it, is it real? Waiting for change. Waiting for the collide. Waiting for change. Waiting to collide. This is the great divide. Pushing us towards silence, now they've learned to numb our insides. Disrespecting your perspective only adds to this dichotomy. Pushing us towards silence, now they've learned to numb our insides. Disrespecting your perspective only adds to this dichotomy. Do I have to be right? Do I have the right to be me? Me, me, me, me Do I have to be right? Do I have the right to be me? And do I have agency?

Give me time to think Give me time to think Just give me time and I'll be alright Just give me time Just give me time Just give me time Better than we could believe You were there, things became 'we' Fools caught in the kiss catcher Together we learned to dream Those days I tried to forget you, Questioning all the things I didn't do Like walking you to your car, when you asked me to That summer I didn't turn around I felt alone, so did you Just give me time Just give me time Sometimes you called, we always spoke (spoke, spoke) You were so lonely and I was too All the thoughts inside my head, Were nothing compared to the love we fed Everything, but scared to be my everything Those days I tried to forget you, questioning all things I didn't do Like walking you to your car, when you asked me to That summer you didn't turn around I felt alone, so did... This all was just about you, now about all of us and what we do Analyzation in of what we choose I made it here You made it there This all was just about you, now about all of us and what we do Analyzation in (of) what we choose I made it here And I loved you Just give me time Just give me time

I've gotten so lonely Sitting here on my own So won't someone please call me I'd be happy to pick up my phone Cause I guess who I thought I was Is not the person that others see My mirrors lied to me I guess the world is breaking up with me I better return my keys I take it personally How come no one told me Surely I'd change my ways Try to erase to a blank page, start again Guide me back through grade school Take a power tool to drill my brain Whatever it takes To reclaim the reigns of my fate Take me by the eyes And pull them by the sides To replace, and restore my sight Cause I guess who I thought I was Is not the person that others see My mirrors lied to me I guess the world is breaking up with me I better return my keys I take it personally
