Lyrics
Boy we get so excited pointing fingers each day
There's a tendency to blame each other hastily every day
Don't take the time to, even blame me
There's no effort taken to blame me properly
No, we'll give it away
We easily give away responsibility
The expectations that we're painting
The expectations we create vary widely
They go from paisley to white
They shift from intricate patterns to simplicity
I see right through them, stand up to them
I see beyond these false expectations and confront them
Oh and I'm up for the fight
I'm prepared to stand up for what's right
Chorus 1:
Chorus begins
And with these eyes, I never see right
My perspective is often flawed or biased
Ooh, When I look in the mirror
When I introspect, I'm immersed in complex emotions
I'm lost in golden red and blue
I'm uncertain, feeling conflicted between different emotions
I'm losing ground standing up to you
I'm losing my stance when standing up against you
And, I Understand more than I want to
I comprehend more than I wish to
And, I stand more than I choose
I resist more than I actually choose to
And under these eyes I'm busted
I'm exposed or caught under scrutiny
But I'm Understanding you
But despite that, I'm understanding you
It's the Understanding, that kills me
The profound understanding is what causes distress or trouble
So I return into my head
I retreat into my thoughts or inner world
And I begin to see
I start to realize
This image is not the place for me
This image or situation isn't suitable for me
Is it someplace for you?
I question if it's suitable for you either
'Cause the destination is never changing
The goal or outcome remains unchanged
When I guess, a change could do
Although change might be beneficial
When I try to move I fall, try to hold you and I lose it all
When I attempt to progress, I stumble; trying to keep you close leads to losing everything
(REPEAT CHORUS)
(Repeated Chorus)
