Passenger

Staring through the lens of past mistakes
With one eye open and one that's not mine
I don't want this, I don't want this to be the end
In a life of longing I never thought that it would end like this

Remain still
I suppose I'll pay my toll to take control of you
What am I without you
I'm just a man, a man with broken hands
Facing his ignorance, full of arrogance, living in dissonance, without resemblance
Without you
I know I'm growing

Growing slowly but stillness still resists
From the shadows approach my passenger
I feel you there fare payer
Dead ringer
Can't they see me through you

Why can't they see me through you
Flickering thoughts remain
Will I retain or fade
It's all the same to me
Can you see me through the outlines
I'm slipping slowly
I don't know what I am
so don't wait for the day I arise so contrived full of lies not ready to face what's inside
All my life I've been staring
With eyes that aren't mine

I don't want to live a life that's so contrived
Staring through the lens of past mistakes
My fate is sealed I'm never healed but I'm growing slowly but stillness resists
From the shadows approach my passenger
I feel you there fare payer
Dead ringer
I'm growing slowly
I'm growing slowly
I'm growing slowly
I'm growing slowly
Growing slowly but stillness resists
Why do I resist
