Facing Up

I use no exaggeration

I'm plainly hanging by a thread

And I'm running low on patience

But don't go blame it on yourself

I wish I was in my right mind

But I've left myself unnecessary chores

I make it bad when it's just fine

I was whole and sure, but now I'm clearly torn and there's

Nothing left for me to do

Right and left both bring me to

The center of my deepest fears, where the truth is oh so clear

Embracing inescapable truth

And that's facing up to you

Continual irresolution

Keeps me shackled to the ground

I've been in dire need of revolution

For far too many days to count

I thought I was safe in my hiding place

But it sure is exhausting living in chains

It's paradoxical in every way

Nothing makes sense, I can't tell love from hate

I'm begging myself to make something out of it

I give up, still unable to comprehend

My own true will, oh but still
