lyrics

My past keeps creeping up
I keep my conscious clean
but memories they grow like weeds
Now it's time to rip them up
And plant them in the shade
And see what's comes of their decay

The years are adding up
I've lived a double life
Burning days and frozen nights
It's time to own it up
This is the cost of change
I'm soaked with debt and broke with rain

I hate to see myself this way
I hate to die so much each day
It's not ok

You've held my head up above
A rising water line
One too many times
Those lips that lift me up
And bring me back for more
Pulled me through the sliding glass door

I hate to see myself this way
I hate to try so much each day
It's not ok

I'm thanking you for holding the mirror
So I can see myself and lack of ideals
If there's no mystery now we can be real
Together we can take on all that we feel

We choose to see ourselves
We choose to see ourselve this way
oh it's all ok.
