THERE'S A PATH OF SIMPLICITY I'M SEARCHING FOR
BUT TO GET THERE I HAVE TO OVERCOME THIS COMPLEX ANXIETY
OF BEING TOO NERVOUS TO NOTICE WHEN MY BOLDNESS COMES FORTH
SO I'M STUCK IN CONFUSION
WHILE CLARITY IS WHISPERING IN MY EAR
ENCOURAGING ME NOT TO SILENCE MY SPEECH
BUT I'M A REBEL
IN SEARCH OF A CAUSE
SO I CHOKE ON MY OWN ARROGANCE
ESPECIALLY WHEN I'M WRONG
AND MAKE WASTE OF ALOTTED TIME
BECAUSE I'D RATHER REMAIN A SOUL LOST
THAN SEEK OUT HELP FROM ANOTHER
AND LIKE THE SOCIAL BUTTERFLY
I PUT ON THE MASK OF THE LONE RANGER
BECAUSE SOME DAYS I JUST DON'T FEEL LIKE DEALING
AND WHEN I DO DECIDE TO
SOMEONE TELLS ME I'M DEALING WRONG
AND I'M BACK TO ME
SO THIS OVERLAPPING BATTLE OF COMPARISON BETWEEN ME, MYSELF, AND I
IS CAUSING ME TO THINK THAT I'M LACKING IN SOMETHING
DIRECTION
I LOOKED TO MY OWN CONSCIOUSNESS FOR PROTECTION
AND ENDED UP A CAPTIVE TO WAYWARD THOUGHTS
NOW THE CHAINS ARE BECOMING ALL TOO FAMILIAR
AND IT SHOWS I HAVE DEFINITELY BEEN HERE BEFORE TOO MANY TIMES
YEP
SO THIS SIMPLE PATH
REALLY ONLY REQUIRES A SIMPLE MIND
BUT MY DUMB DESIRE TO ENGAGE IN MY DEEPNESS
MAKES IT HARD TO FIND
SO I FIGURED I'D JUST SIT ON ROCK OF PAST REGRETS
PITYING OVER MY SHOULDA, COULDA, WOULDAS
IN HOPES OF A RIGHT WAY TAPPING ME ON THE SHOULDER
AND SHOWING ME HOW TO LOOSEN MYSELF
FROM THE ENTRAPMENT OF MYSELF
THAT RESULTED FROM ME NOT TRUSTING MYSELF
WHEN THE IRONY IS
I TRUSTED NO ONE BUT MYSELF
AND IT'S BECAUSE OF MYSELF THAT I CAN'T FIND THE PATH
AND NOW I CAN'T STAND MYSELF
MAYBE I WILL JUST FIND A ROAD LESS TRAVEL
