Another Perfect Day
Embracing Shadows: Contemplating Life's Imperfections
Lyrics
You tell me you love me
You express love towards me
And I wonder why
I contemplate the reasons for your love
The sun is overhead
The sun is shining brightly above
But I can't see past the clouds in my eye
Despite this, emotional clouds obscure my vision
You show me what is real
You reveal reality to me
And I just pretend
I choose to feign ignorance or denial
Another perfect day
Another day that seems flawless
And I wonder how it all will end
I ponder the uncertain conclusion of it all
Another perfect day
Reiteration of the seemingly perfect day
And I will hide away
I choose to withdraw and conceal myself
From all the sights and sounds
Avoiding sensory stimuli and experiences
Another perfect day
Another ideal day
And I will walk away
I opt to distance myself from surrounding brightness
From all the light that surrounds
Avoiding exposure to the surrounding light
Shadows embrace this room
Shadows envelop the room
As I draw the shades tight
I close the curtains tightly
Close the curtains, shut out the day
Rejecting the intrusion of daylight
Shut out the light
Rejecting external illumination
Another perfect day
Recurrence of a seemingly perfect day
And I will hide away
I choose seclusion once again
From all the sights and sounds
Avoiding sensory stimuli and experiences
Another perfect day
Yet another perfect day
And I will walk away
Opting to distance myself from surrounding brightness
From all the light that surrounds
Avoiding exposure to the surrounding light
Lying awake again
I find myself awake once more
Restless in this bed
Restless in bed
Summer night whispers soft
Nocturnal whispers surround me
But I can't sleep through the noise in my head
The noise in my mind prevents peaceful sleep
Soon the sun is rising
The sun begins to rise
And I just descend
I descend into contemplation
Another perfect day
Another day that appears perfect
And I wonder when it all will end
I question when it will all come to an end
Another perfect day
Reiteration of withdrawal from the seemingly perfect day
And I will hide away
I choose seclusion once again
From all the sights and sounds
Avoiding sensory stimuli and experiences
Another perfect day
Yet another ideal day
And I will walk away
Opting to distance myself from surrounding brightness
From all the light that surrounds
Avoiding exposure to the surrounding light
Another perfect day
Yet another seemingly perfect day
And I will hide away
I choose seclusion once again
From all the sights and sounds
Avoiding sensory stimuli and experiences
Another perfect day
Another seemingly perfect day
And I will walk away
Opting to distance myself from surrounding brightness
From all the light that surrounds
Avoiding exposure to the surrounding light
