Won't you take a second look?
Here alone I stand awaiting your final judgment.
All the years, flights, promises, can't amount to nothing now.
Won't you take a second look?
I can't force the hand of love or claim it's spoils uncooked.
But this is life, that was faith those were promises.
I can't bear the thought of how
You kept me so
Peripheral
Never let me in beyond the corner of your eye
Peripheral
Fearing inconvenience you've abandoned and resigned.
Anchor-less but still so hooked
To the dreams and fantasies that lay awaiting us.
I was deaf, dumb, childish
Far too late to play an adult.
Anchor-less but still so hooked
To a future disappearing in a haze of dust.
I tried black magic, witchcraft, and conjuring.
Not a single spell has stuck.
And you kept me so
Peripheral
Never let me in beyond the corner of your eye
Peripheral
Fearing inconvenience you've abandoned and resigned.
Kept me so
Peripheral
Never let me live beyond the corner of your eye
Peripheral
Fearing inconvenience you've abandoned and resigned.
