Deceptive Calm

Tonight I'll talk too much and try to and complicate my friends. Distant conversations, eye contact only now and then. I try and drown myself in futile disbelief, Only to be washed ashore by truth here on my computer screen. The monsters hand held out, hung me by my own beliefs. I held on tight, surviving by the skin of my teeth. I raised my head up high and took a look into your eyes, Searching for light I embarked into my own demise. I gave you what you want in hopes that it was what you need Tread the ground barefoot so all the blisters bleed. The dog he's only learned to love and stay, But he wants to get away, he needs to get away. Now you know I've found a place to hide, Got to run somewhere, leave you, girl you know I've tried. I'm stuck reviewing the memories of our yesterday, But I want to get away, I need to get away. Walking the forest whispering to all silent trees. I can feel the change, and relate to all falling leaves. The world bears down and my legs won't seem to stand, 'Guess I'm just arrogant, too stupid to see I've done all that I can. I gave you what you want in hopes that it was what you need Tread the ground barefoot so all the blisters bleed. The dog he's only learned to love and stay, But he wants to get away, he needs to get away. Now you know I've found a place to hide, Got to run somewhere, leave you, girl you know I've tried. I'm stuck reviewing the memories of our yesterday, But I want to get away, I need to get away.
