Make Believe

This isn’t someone else’s life Who was I trying to deceive? Don’t get to do the moments twice Don’t have to pack your bags to leave I was just sliding on the ice Body fully grown Clinging to its infancy Se la vie Living in a dream No one gets to stay a child This isn’t make believe I couldn’t listen to advice Followed my impulsivities Crying inside from the crimes of stolen flesh, soul robbery Ears hear what they choose to hear Eyes see what they want to see In an imaginary world Truth disappears magically If you just make believe Yesterday is done Today has just begun Can’t let what’s past dictate who you will become There’s a voice inside of me Doesn’t sleep, let me be Parts of me I don’t like Play your cards it’s just life Haunting past can’t be changed Like the wiring of my brain We’re all stained Blue blood in our veins Now I’m owning it myself Not blaming anybody else for my choices And calling it fate We all wake up with ourselves in the beds we make
