The Hardships of Honesty - Speak To Me
Tell me this…
In your vision,
Am I your mission?
In your eyes,
Are their hints of lies?
Why did you let go of everything you once had?
It’s okay to have a new start; on the otherhand, it’s not bad
They say that better days are ahead or so I’ve heard
They pray that I will change my ways and be a free-bird
Neither will I
Show forth in an absurd herd
I will, I will try
To not say a single word and the rest assured
Also, let me tell you this…
I was always this caged-up, crazy lion
Never was meant to be a bold champion
Don’t mess with my delusional dreams
Don’t address the unfulfilled goals at the seams
Neither will I address yours
Nor will I mess with your unfinished chores
Or dreams you dreamt since you were a kid
These farewells, I never wanted to truly bid
Honestly, I wanted to hide away from the truth
The lies don’t lie when it looks like a rotten tooth
So, don’t fall short on deceptions
Be enraptured by true redemptions
Neither will I
Ever think of holding a grudge against you
I forgive on high
I try to be Christ-like in what I say or do…
Okay, I have had my countless downfalls and mistakes I’ve made
All these debts and regrets that get me upset are not fully paid
Neither will I
Give up trying and rely on Him when I can do no more…say no more…
I am a tough guy
With tough skin and a huge heart that chooses to adore, not abhor
Yet, I hate that I am this human sometimes
Don’t rub it in my face, my filthy crimes
I never meant to harm you like I did previously
I want to make it up to you, for you are significant to me
You surely surprised me
By everything you’ve done
Well, can’t you clearly see
I wasn’t the criminal with the gun?
Neither will I…
Fall helplessly victim
That, I can’t deny
Nor, can I really fathom
What you did was awful and did me wrong
You abused me abruptly and I played along
I allowed you to desert me in this desert of hurt
And, yes, buddy, I hurt like an expert with little effort
Neither will I…
Try to save you from your aftermath
Hope I won’t die
If I do, I would have to face God's eternal wrath…
Okay, maybe…wait, I know I worry too much!
Perhaps, I need a spiritual, heavenly touch
Neither will I, oh neither will I…deny...
Nor will I ever
Admit it to myself with certain eye
That I am shy and I cry when things go awry
Compared to Your courage that draws nigh
So, don’t say “whatever”
Whatsoever…oh, you better…
Your words and actions that follow are much like the unpredictable weather…
You are an efflorescent California
Or, actually, you are fiery Arizona
You can become an authentic Australia
Or the freezing, amazing Antartica
Yes, you can be anything you can ever dream of
I will believe in you, but trust won’t be there, love
Unless you have a heart to change…
Let our time and events rearrange…
Hey, it’s sad you choose the worst of the outcome
Okay, I’m glad you made your decision – that’s awesome…
Now, I will attempt to know myself a little more
I have given up, trying to know you to the core
Neither will I…
Try to understand it all…
You can’t fix a lie
When truth will make it fall…
And it will make its fall in no time
I wasn’t the one who did the crime
You had the gun in your quivering hand
So, what more is there to understand?
Things got out of hand, the usual,
The moment you and I parted ways
It’s typical you still play me the fool
You told me thoughtlessly I’m drifting through bipolar bays...
You tried hard to convince me with your lying tongue
Focus on you and I'll focus on me – no tune of lies to be sung
Honesty will thrive among…
Us…us…of course, us
If we were on the same bus
All I hear is praise for yourself and no one else
Does it still ring about a billion bells? Only time tells…
You made your mistakes and I did as well…
We all fell into our careless cell of our own hell
Get over it and might as well get it over with…
Speak to me the wicked so-called wisdom of myth…
Because everything you do,
There are a few consequences that come after
Go ahead and say it so true
Excuse me, life is not always a happily-ever-after – more like, never...
You will completely understand the things I’ve gone through through and through for the sake of me and you…I don’t ask for your understanding, alone, if only you knew…
Honey, no, I am not asking for chaos and mere disaster
Because I am the stormy, sweltering weather in Arizona – hope you feel better..
Yeah, right!
