Lyrics
Reality & Fiction
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
My life's
A contradiction
Split into reality and fiction
My life's a product
Of indecision
Of fear that retains me like prison
The imperfection in me
I built my castle
I built my walls
To protect me from all the world holds
All I wanted to be was a brave man
But the choices I make
The path that I take
Have made me to who I am
It took so long to see
To understand what I've grown to be
There's so much more in me
My heart
Had good intentions
If they were the cause of my actions
If there was something
I could have done
To hold me away from the coward I've become
The imperfection in me
I built my castle
I built my walls
To protect me from all the world holds
All I wanted to be was a brave man
But the choices I make
The path that I take
Have made me to what/who I am
There's so much more in me
So much more to set free
It took so long to see
To understand what I've grown to be
All I wanted to be was a brave man
But the choices I make
The path that I take
Have made me to what I am
It took so long to see
To understand what I've grown to be
There's so much more in me
