Can'T Think Straight

Can’t Think Straight By Kevin Robey November 1, 2013 I can’t think straight but it’s all right I’m lighting up, I’m shining bright She let me go, he’ll thank her for me To let me out, to finally let me be Can’t you see this isn’t a one way street? I love them all, so we’ll see when we meet Where the rabbit hole leads I’ll never really know Into the great unknown with demons still in tow If there’s fear in my eyes I can’t let it show Afraid that I’ll lose what I had long ago To look in the mirror and like what I see Will I be the same if my heart will agree? Truth be told, can’t seem to disregard Thoughts I have found that shine through the scars Time to memorize the lost look in my eyes So I won’t regret the lies I never realized Maybe this isn’t the answer that will be The missing key, the final missing piece But it’s the first honest thought I’ve had in years Maybe I don’t know the true reasons for my tears I can’t think straight or anything between But maybe that’s the me that lives happily Charge ahead within the lies the demons spin This way I may find the soul beneath my skin
