Elegant Disasters
Elegant Disasters: Unveiling Hidden Shadows in the Soul
Lyrics
I'm the crutch, I'm the words on the back of your tongue
I represent support, the unspoken words at the tip of your tongue
I'm the intermittent headaches
I symbolize the occasional headaches you experience
I'm the dirt running deep beneath your fingernails that can't be scrubbed
I am the unnoticed dirt beneath your fingernails that persists
I'm the part you've kept hidden, I'm the stain on your name
I am the concealed part of you, a stain on your reputation
I'm the opposite of conscience
I am the antithesis of conscience
I'm the needle in your side, I'm regret, I'm the dread, I'm the shame
I am the discomfort, regret, dread, and shame within you
I got tricked, made out to follow
I was deceived, misled into following
Chest is empty, cold and hollow
My chest feels empty, devoid of warmth
All you look the same
Observing others, I notice a similarity
Oh, collecting rain beneath your shoulders
Collecting emotional burdens, like rain on your shoulders
Come be my blood, be my brother
Be my support, be like family
Everyone knows you're just like me
Others recognize the similarity between us
You're deaf, that's all
You are deaf to certain truths
Caught you up in spotlight
Caught in the spotlight, exposed
Caught you lost and tongue tied
Caught in confusion and speechlessness
Now we know what you look like
Now, we know your true appearance
Now we know your hands are crooked
Revealed, your deceitful actions
Try to walk so upright
Attempting to appear virtuous
Oh, you've come to pick a fight?
Are you here to provoke a conflict?
Now we know what you look like
Now, we see your real self
We know your facade is cracking
We acknowledge that your facade is breaking down
Burning eyes and mouths of splinters
Eyes burning with intensity, words like sharp splinters
Cast their stones and drown the sinners
Casting judgments and condemning the wrongdoers
All you look the same
Noticing the similarity among individuals
We could all make such good friends
We all have the potential to be good friends
Yeah, we're all just such elegant disasters
We are all complex individuals, beautifully flawed
And though your heart never beat like mine
Your heart may not beat like mine
I can come and fill the gaps if you want me to
I can fill the voids in your life if you desire
And we may never be as bright as them
We may not shine as brightly as others
But we'll never have to sink the way they do
But we won't succumb to the same pitfalls
We're no names
We are nameless, not defined by labels
Somewhere out there things are in line
Suggesting that somewhere, things are in order
Somewhere out there we're all just fine
Believing that somewhere, everyone is doing well
