The Urgency In Nonconformity

Confusion in all the most obvious places On her face, In his words A collective silence to urge nothing said should leave this room A mark of intelligence Missed by a split second of hesitation Its harder to talk with a drink soaring down your throat But I can't say it's out of character And it must suck to see me this way Avoiding confusion in all the most overlooked places It's all over their faces Oh, how the night was slipping away from them They'll never get that time back They'll never get that time back But me, I've already moved on And I'm ready to trade up in the afterlife They'll never get that time back But you'll never improve with one foot in the present And the other in the past Fear prevails for another day I thought if I waited long enough I'd eventually find the strength Is my body getting weaker? Is my body giving up on me? I'll never get that time back But you'll never improve with one foot in the present And the other in the past So fear prevails for another day But I find hope in the most unexpected of places And I'll hold onto that For when my body's giving up on me
