Not to Scale

Stare at this mass of time

Waiting for something to change

When all you had to do was stand up and face yourself

Comfort will get you nowhere when you know you can’t let go

Looking at where you have gone it takes less

Time to find out what your position would be if you

Hadn’t spent that time alone

If you had gone out and seen the world

Like your father told you to do

You could have known where you would fall

And what kind of person you would have been

No one can get anywhere they haven’t been before

By being stuck

The same frame of mind

Where they’ve lived for the whole time they’ve spent

This planet of Earth

Finding out it’s never worth enough

You can’t stand up

I waste my time

Waiting for an opportunity to swing by your way

Is not a solid plan of action

Safety in mind leaves everything to hide

The world is bigger than your head

Don’t be content

All of your vices

They won’t help defeat them

I guess you should cave in

Scrape off the scabs

And the blood that you got from all of your demons

They hide behind your own eyes

Behind your lies

Comfort gets you nowhere

Comfort gets you nothing more

Build up your drive these mountains to climb

Lead to views that only comes from seeing the other side of the valley

A side that you still can’t feel

Safety and contentment only accomplish goals that

Require no ambition

You were not

(I’ll keep saying I’m just fine)

I hope I never have to cross that line again

I guess I’ll keep saying that I’m just fine this time

Just fine
