Took a Bow

There’s a lot of shadows, roaming in my head You’re the reason why I feel so much dread So, set my spirits free from bondage right now Somehow, I’ll be wiping away the sweat from my brow I harness happiness Distress and sadness will go away I harness harmlessness Anxious depression won’t lead me astray You left me behind With a mind of my own Positivity will unwind The rest remains unknown You left me behind like an unanswered phone With blind tears of so many kinds So many kinds…close the blinds I take a bow on my own, on my own, on my own Beautiful truth sweeps out the lies from my brain of cheer Wondrous fear has given me a reason to weep here, weep here Hopes and dreams have made me feel like a river-cloudy ether Freer than a deer in the wilderness and some thunderous weather I harness happiness Distress and sadness will go away I harness harmlessness Anxious depression won’t lead me astray You left me behind With a mind of my own Positivity will unwind The rest remains unknown You left me behind like an unanswered phone With blind tears of so many kinds So many kinds…close the blinds I take a bow on my own, on my own, on my own Gracious soul of mine Oh, I hope you’ll be fine Anxious as hell in my shell But my hopes and dreams aren’t on sell Aren’t on sell, so don’t give in to distress Might as well feel my way out of darkness You’re appealing to the very touch I miss your kisses and hugs so much I harness happiness Distress and sadness will go away I harness harmlessness Anxious depression won’t lead me astray You left me behind With a mind of my own Positivity will unwind The rest remains unknown You left me behind like an unanswered phone With blind tears of so many kinds So many kinds…close the blinds I take a bow on my own, on my own, on my own I take a bow with cheer Towards beautiful truth in my broken dreams I hope away the fear Braven my cowardice thoughts at the seams There’s a lot of shadows, roaming in my head You’re the reason why I feel so much dread So I take a bow… Right now, somehow
