(Verse)
As the light dawns on me that only me I can rely on
I feel a slight qualm is what I will stifle to vitalize myself & right my wrongs are recondite
It's hard to not deride yourself over prior mistakes they constantly remind you about when trying to change yourself
Can only blame myself for that but regardless of any amount of pain I've felt, I say that this ain't farewell
In my heart, I know I'll rise above it, but in my mind, I'll find the summit then I'll plummet from it
Whatever I decide is up to me, a judgement call is not a call for judgement
The length that people go to, to make you budge an inch is what I'm done with
Just let me better my life, set the heather alight
I don't like being heavy but in fine feather & light as one, I'm ready to fly, if & when this "Wicked Wind" stops, I wish not for it to continue then I want "Wings" I've witnessed on Whitlock to get as far away from here as possible, in a flock, don't aim with that flintlock to shoot us down
Refute what we do but the altitude is too astound-ing to a**ume we're bound for failure
The only crown I wear is of thorns, ain't royal & without regalia or the clout is what I won't sell ya, will never find me around the hellions are unwelcome now that my doubts are seldom, I plan to keep it that way
This my destiny, you can't keep me away
They've seen me fey but I am breathing today
Any feelings of fray, I allay till they're fleeted away
I'm proud of these feet of clay
If the way I am is looked at as a disease then I'm pleased with the sequela
Diabetes would take my mother away from me over 10 years ago, if she was her, I wonder what she'd have to say, probably ask me why I felt that I needed to inveigh with a song like "Kingdom Come", would she a-gree with it, well I really can't say but I do miss her, her pa**ing left me in dismay
It took some time to heal from this ordeal, can't deal with this heart of gla**, I feel I need to anneal it, I will, it will not k** me, these pills
Sometimes my life & everything I've been through feels so surreal like a world that's ideal but right now this happiness I'm feeling is real
You got a dream, make it your vision to build, with all your means not just your limitless sk**
I've been hither & thither, in fields of Elysian & in the back of my mind, where all of my demons instilled, telling me I should just give it up but you can't listen to them
Anything negative stepping inside my dominion is nil
Don't you fall for their games, you got a mind like a steel trap, something that they never will... have
Can you feel that breeze to the four winds?
Free the endorphins
The love people show me can't be this enormous, to me, every last one of you deemed as important so please don't ignore this rhyme
Before his time is up, implore some lord to come restore his shine
If I'm obscure, you're blind
I've inured to life
It's a cure to write that, I'll for sure be fine
Cause life is beautiful
I'm immune to the lies & scrutiny
Their vacuity, my acuity equals our disunity
The continuity of others credulity is nothing new to me
The things they've done to me, continue to do to me, you could plea for me to not do such a thing to you, who you think I am, you?
I'm not as cruel as you grew to be
I've jumped through hoops to get put through the wringer too many times & I know, what a fool of me
Nobody's perfect, this is well known
We all got a mote in our eye, but some are blind & those are the people who think they can look through a millstone but you don't know a thing about me & if you did know, then we wouldn't be having this conversation, your fault if you're not complacent
If those people try to signal me to be the same, I can't guarantee that I Wilco
I care "Less Than You Think" about them so forget them-selves they can fend for
Commend folks tenfold instead most condemn when it's them who'll descend slow
Am I sentimental towards them, no
They'll get what's been meant for them since the get-go
Forget about how they feel
I would never make a mountain out of a molehill because I'm sharp as an aiguille
I did what was best for myself to the people I've let go...
