Denial You Win Again
Embracing Delusion: The Buttertones' Dance with Denial
Lyrics
A stir grows in my back
A feeling of discomfort or unease is developing in my back.
As I attempt to untangle my past
While trying to understand my history, I encounter difficulties and complications.
I look around my roof for cues
I search my surroundings for hints or signals on my path.
The feeling in my gut continues to grow
An unsettling sensation in my stomach is intensifying.
Have I had been this mad the whole time?
Am I realizing now that I have been angry all along?
A chess game in my mind
A mental struggle or conflict resembling a chess game is taking place.
I look away
I deliberately avert my gaze.
Denial you win again
Expressing acknowledgment of denial prevailing once again.
With your convalescing sway
Denial is victorious with its healing influence or control.
I'll tell all my friends that there is no need for sense
Conveying to others that rationality is unnecessary.
Soaking in the sweetest summer rain
Immersed in the enjoyable sensation of summer rain while avoiding reality.
Denial you win again
Acknowledging the triumph of denial once more.
And I'll happily lose to you friend (I've never been happier)
Willingly accepting defeat to denial and expressing happiness about it.
A stir growing in my chest
A similar discomfort is now arising in my chest.
There is something wrong
An awareness that something is not right or amiss.
And I can pin point it
Identifying the issue or problem distinctly.
I'm not the one I thought I was
Realizing that I am not the person I believed myself to be.
I'm sick and distracted
Feeling unwell and preoccupied mentally.
My only pal disavow
My only companion is rejecting or disowning me.
It's my move
It's my turn to make a move.
But
But, there is a deliberate avoidance or refusal.
I look away
Once again, I choose to look away.
