Self Annointed

I don't know how I got this far away
When I used to be here
I wish I could push this bar away
And conquer all my fears

But this ride goes upside down
And I can't hold on
Looks like my ship has run aground
But my captain just rolled on.

I don't recall putting armor on
I don't remember wearing spikes
I need a field I can run faster on
I need a couple extra strikes

But just don't hit me hard
Cause I can't hold on
If I put down all my guards
Would I be cold long.

How am I supposed to take this?
I'm standing almost naked.
Am I supposed to cut myself
And watch it bleed.

It's time to wake up.
I smudged my make up.
I'm not prepared to stand somewhere
I cannot breathe.

I don't know how I got this far away
When my heart is right here.
I thought I could stay apart this way
And my mind would still be clear.

But I'm being pulled away
And I can't hold on
My guides are leading me astray
When I know where I belong.

(Chorus)

I wish I could cut these lines away
And drift among the rocks
I wish I could free my mind today
And perish endless thoughts

But the line's too taut
And I can't hold on
Both my legs were caught
But my blood flowed on.

(Chorus)
