Lower My Label

The past... Lower my label just a little bit
So fast... I've been slower to react lately, so I'll just wait and sit
Scared out of my mind: a phrase I've used too often
This appeared when I was blind, yet you're amazed that I won't soften

Choking on a word that is imprisoned in my chest
Provoking what has already occured, I don't think that was best
Sigh and look away: The defeat that I detest
Why'd this have to stay? The sins that I've confessed

I have so much to say, yet I always go blank
So much happened today, and it's you who I thank
The patience I've had with you... Can't you give me a break?
And you know that it's true, you know it's not fake

All those nights I stayed up late, wondering how this problem could still exist
All the fights that shadow-shade my hate, other feelings that I've missed
I prayed so long for a different fate: of course you gave me this
You've made me shatter at this rate, was that really your last wish?
