Скачать или смотреть The Self: Lifted (ORIGINAL) SocioEmpath

Music and lyrics, as always, by me. Thanks for listening!

Whirling it's tumbling down
Making up me, accounting for the sound
A fingerprint of lives torn apart
Never to forget where we were at the start
Always in head, never in hand
A passing thought or a silent demand
A glass that's not full, not empty just yet
We go through the motions but never forget

A life that was thought of but shadowed by a doubt
The ask that was answered but never carried out
From a wish in the depths of your wildest dreams
That I've taken, ripped up and torn at the seams

Dinner plates or pinprick eyes
I am still me, it's no compromise
For who I am, desperately me
Displaying myself for the whole world to see
I'm nodding off in a haze that's gone blank
Only my self and decisions to thank
For this whole mess I've sunken in
Only myself, where do I begin

With a lesson I may have once learned long ago
Torn up jeans, scraped up knees, and a forgotten show
Bloodshot eyes and dazed memories, a message for me
As I put myself out there for everyone to see

Never fixed, corrected for a change
Turned upside down all has been rearranged
From the ups and downs composing my days
Thinking of chances, of all of the ways

It could have been different but worked out so far
What could have been worse but was only a scar
Hands on the pavement and face in the dirt
What could have been more but was only just hurt

So I've learned just who I am
Swallowing pride to play the part of the lamb
As I watch the lions prowling around
Because what I've lost is really what I've found
