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
