Lyrics
I was lured into a comfortable space
I was enticed into a comfortable space.
Promised warmth and freedom from suffering and scraping from day to day
Promised warmth and freedom from the struggles of daily life.
The promise became a tangle of thorn covered vines
The promise transformed into a complex web of thorn-covered vines.
Tendrils of perversion choking my lust for life
Twisting vines of perversion are strangling my passion for life.
Packed into a box
I feel confined or restricted, like being packed into a box.
Signed off and shipped in palatable packaging
Agreed upon and sent away in attractive packaging.
Struggling to accept the vessel I chose to become
Struggling to accept the person I've chosen to become.
And hoping there's something left when it's all been done
Hoping there's something meaningful left after all is said and done.
How much do I adjust
Questioning how much I should change to fit in.
Until the hinges shake off their rust
Wondering when the established norms will be shaken off.
And the world bends to trust
Hoping for a world that trusts and accepts my true self.
When will I be enough
Reflecting on when I will be considered enough.
No! I will not be restructured into perfect lines
Defiantly refusing to conform to imposed perfection.
I would let it burn down before becoming a sacrifice
Choosing to resist being turned into a sacrificial offering, even if it means letting things burn down.
I'm tired of not good enough or out of line
Expressing weariness of being deemed inadequate or deviating from the norm.
Forgive myself to let myself be right this time
Deciding to forgive oneself and embrace the right path, even if it involves making mistakes.
Flawlessly screwing up like a jerk
Acknowledging flaws but rejecting the pressure to conform, behaving authentically instead.
But doing so authentically like I deserve
Embracing mistakes with authenticity, feeling deserving of genuine expression.
