Southwestern State
Seeking Redemption in a Southwestern State
Lyrics
Been draggin' this mask
Feeling burdened by a facade or false identity
All over town
Carrying this deceptive mask everywhere in the town
With my face still in it
Despite wearing the mask, my true emotions are still visible
No one saw that I did it
Performing actions in secret, unnoticed by others
Things they've done to me
Experiencing events and situations that are hard to believe
You would never believe
Assuring the listener that these experiences are genuine
Believe me they're true
Emphasizing the truth behind the unbelievable experiences
Things I've had to do
Detailing the difficult actions and sacrifices made
To get next to you
Desiring proximity to someone special
I need a straight-away ticket
Expressing the need for an immediate escape
To a southwestern state
Specifically seeking refuge in a southwestern state
Have I broke all the rules that I've made?
Questioning if breaking self-imposed rules was necessary
Been draggin' this past
Carrying the weight of the past experiences
All over town
Taking the past everywhere, affecting the present
With my life still in it
Despite the past, my life continues with it
Every single minute
Every minute is influenced by the past
Things I've done to me
Reflecting on personal experiences that are hard to fathom
You would never believe
Reassuring the authenticity of these extraordinary experiences
Believe me they're true
Affirming the truth behind the incredible events
Things I've had to do
Detailing the challenging actions undertaken
To get next to you
Reiterating the desire for closeness with someone special
I need a straight-away ticket
Expressing the urgent need for a quick escape
To a southwestern state
Specifically desiring to go to a southwestern state
Have I broke all the rules that I've made?
Questioning if breaking personal rules was justified
