[bodytext] => Now you’re saying “Not my problem, not for listening” You’re an easy decision to make And that I, meaning you, would be better off without Facing what you’re saying, meaning me And I guess, supposing, not to mention, that my ascension Through your mind’s not been an easy climb That it only stands to face, I topple and I’m placed Far behind the summit I was cast backwards, meaning past And to agree, means to see things differently, and admitting you’re letting go Of the image in your head that I put on off to bed a long, wrong time ago Now hero, taken lightly, is dismissed As the word to define what that is, and saying change Seems almost strange, it’s like saying time is weird But time doesn’t disappear so mustn’t change? Because positively certain is never certain But I’ve got the burdens to believe you’re not positive but forced to live In a constant recollection of the “me” you’d once inspected, said as hero, now dismissed But please do tell the spell I’d one concocted in a cell Of imprisonment to my emotions made to you, So I can force it in the open And make it there to grown in, in an air to interfere and keep it broken See because healthy Means two different things It means I’m safe from you but you’re not safe from me And someone’s got to have it, but you’d rather keep it stagnant Where it harms the both of us, by both, I’m meaning, see?
