S. Reidy - Perilous Separation Lyrics

Separation is a tricky task
Putting weight up on your back that you can't handle just to make it last
Convinced that patience is a virtue when they hurt you
And semantics try to scramble everything you've come to know as facts
It's the virtue of a humble man to have a plan and
Take the fam into your hands and try to understand them
Of course their actions never play into your thesis
With your kindness took for weakness, it's a blessing to the leeches
That they are for many years while you just hope that it's a phase
The sight inside their eyes is the shown the light if you're just strong and wait
And often times they walk the line to keep you coming back
The stress inside your head makes it a task to keep your heart in tact
I started healing today (I started healing today)
Crooked memories are set straight or gone astray
You're either jaded or delusional or don't complain
But days can turn to life, and with respect I have to walk away, I'm sorry

I can't let you down
When you're the one who set the bar and watched the building fall apart
I've been dragged so low
Into the dirt but do you care or do you need someone to love?
Sing these songs you wrote
But what's the use? One day you'll sing them to an audience of one
Awareness and change
You don't understand it now but those two things are not the same
