Nothing
Navigating Emotions: A Ballad of Life's Boundaries
Lyrics
I draw a line between
I establish a clear distinction between
Sentiment / sincerity
Emotion or genuine expression of feelings
The ellipses of the life I lead
The pauses and uncertainties in the life I'm leading
State lines were a balance beam
Geographical boundaries serve as a precarious balancing act
She was born with open eyes
She was born with a perceptive outlook
I look in them for what I'm trying to find
I search her eyes for what I'm trying to discover
And it's a masterpiece when I get it right
When successful, it becomes a work of art
Stumbling down the street at night
Navigating through the streets in a stumbling manner at night
And over the borderline, in time
Beyond the boundary, with time
Could you cross over mine, if I tried
Can you transcend mine, if I attempt
Saying it slowly, breathing out
Expressing slowly, exhaling
"I guess that it's something I'm doing nothing about"
"I suppose it's an issue I'm neglecting"
Hard to say what a feeling is
Difficult to define what an emotion is
Or articulate what I find in it
Or convey what I discover in it
I just know that it's infinite
I just know it's boundless
When I can't wrap my head around it
When I can't comprehend it fully
Still I'd try it on my own
Nevertheless, I attempt it on my own
Afternoons when I'd hide at home
During afternoons when I conceal myself at home
You know you need it when you see it though
You recognize the need when you observe it though
The only answer when I'm feeling low
The sole solution when I'm feeling down
Is over the borderline, in time
Beyond the boundary, with time
Could you cross over mine, would you try
Can you transcend mine, would you attempt
I wanna know you live without
I want to understand a life without
And see that it's something you're doing nothing about
And acknowledge that it's something you're neglecting
