Director

(album: Familiars - 2014)

From a stage in your heart, I can tell that you're far from yourself when you barter your lust for your health.
And when you claim it's all a play, and you just don't care,
I only stare…
I'm a director watching you rehearse.

You say,
"Lend me your eyes to evolve from that actor I fight in the dark,
where I'm two twins I can't tell apart!"
But you remember which is which when the wrong man wins.
You will hate who you are 'til you overthrow who you've been.
How'd you expect your soul to send a whole patrol if you were too far gone for me to know where to find you?
I've wandered out alone into your cold unknown to try to bring you home.
So you forgot your way?
Well I'm trying to remind you.
