Serendipity

(album: Once Only Imagined - 2007)

Stillborn pride
Let me hide

Once more I've stepped across the line
Repeating to myself that everything is fine
Once more I'm shipwrecked far from shore
This time the war and blood and gore are mine

Approaching the end
Thinking it's all pretend
Then clarity
So close to me
Although I knew I killed me too I came back to life
The key is flexibility
Guard your strengths
And drown the rest
Out of mind
Out of sight

The chains on my wings
Still tight but loosening
The age of wondering led me to a place never revisited again

Stillborn pride
Spare my mind

Don't regret all of your past
You can't change
Tears dry but they're never your last
That won't change
The first stone has just been cast
Show restraint

You can't take all my apathy
You can't take such a tragedy
You can't break all my fallacies

Let serendipity

Okay
So things don't always go your way
We may see things for what they are someday

So things don't always go your way
See things for what they are today

Stillborn pride
Truth denied
