Agonize

(album: Doves In Glass Houses - 2020)

I feel the best in me
I feel it slowly coming
I know you want to see
That nothing inside is free

I tried to guide your hand
Help you understand me
I tried to make you see
You can't hide what you believe

I've been trying
To keep this quiet

Did I agonize
You push me deeper and deeper
It burns like a fever
Did I agonize
It's the pain I'm concealing
The beauty inside your lies
I agonize

I see the worst in you
It's only yet unwinding
I know your perfect truth
Is burning your only noose

I tried 1000 times
To put your throne beside me
I tried to make you see
You can't fly on broken wings

I've been trying
To keep this quiet

Did I agonize
You push me deeper and deeper
It burns like a fever
Did I agonize
It's the pain I'm concealing
The beauty inside your lies
I agonize

It's time to take control
And put the rest behind me
I'll take the only road
It's time to take control
I'll put the rest behind me
I'll take the only road

Did I agonize
You push me deeper and deeper
It burns like a fever
Did I agonize
It's the pain I'm concealing
The beauty inside your lies
I agonize
