I Tried

Song lyrics. One of mine. (: Written August 22nd, 2011.
Comments (good or bad) are loved.


You tread the path of fools and villains
The difference being your self-convictions,
Spinning about, without self-control,
Unsure just how you got here-

within this place of fire and water
And under both, you’ll fly to the slaughter
You, the pilot to your plummeting plane,
And I, the speed bump in your way

Ring-ring, the doorbell sings.
Knocking all over my window panes.
The clang of prison bars show
the extent of your charms

I trip you up, so unexpected,
on this road of hurt down which you are headed.
You brush aside my words, but I don’t blame you
when all you’ve known is deceit

Pin me to the polygraph,
flip the switch now, I’ll only laugh
as all the blips and beeps finally sweep
my heart into your ears

I’ll grow on you like moss on a boulder
if you’ll only stop and remain forever more
with me, away, from your dark chosen goal,
calm, serene, away from here

Pin me to the polygraph,
flip the switch now, I’ll only laugh
as all the blips and beeps lastly sweep
my heart into your ears

Take my face between your hands
and bury it under golden sands
‘cause the mask I wear can not compare
to what you hide behind

Pin me, take me… Pin me, take me…
Oh, pin me, take me…

Pin me to the polygraph,
flip the switch now, I’ll only laugh
as all the blips and beeps lastly sweep
my heart into your ears

Take my face between your hands
and bury it under golden sands
‘cause I will still exist, whereas you’ve mis-
placed yourself

‘Cause you’re still going, fully knowing
what you’ll become.
