Less Than
Surviving Shadows: Micah Dearstone's Reflection on Life's Deceptions
Lyrics
Honesty gives way in time
Honesty diminishes over time.
Truth washes away in lies
Truth becomes obscured by lies.
I wish I could understand
Expressing a desire to comprehend a mysterious aspect.
What it is that makes a man survive
Contemplating the factors that enable a person to endure and thrive.
I know, it'll be alright
Optimistic acknowledgment that things will eventually be fine.
I've been weeding out the fakes
Engaging in the process of identifying and eliminating insincere individuals.
The ones who give less than they take
Criticizing those who contribute less than they receive.
Part of me is now empty
A part of the speaker feels devoid or lacking.
How easily I've been erased
Reflecting on how easily the speaker has been forgotten or overlooked.
I know, It'll be okay
Reassuring oneself that everything will be okay.
Face another day alone
Facing the challenge of another day alone.
Losing any sense of home
Experiencing a loss of a sense of belonging or stability.
Reached out for a helping hand
Seeking assistance from others but realizing self-reliance.
Quickly realized I'm on my own
Recognizing independence and isolation after reaching out for help.
I know, I'm too far gone
Acknowledging a personal awareness of being too far gone.
I know, I'm too far gone
Reiterating a realization of being too far gone, possibly beyond recovery.
