Fly in the Ointment

You're never truly there, but you're never really gone You just sit there unaware that you're acting so withdrawn You're just waiting for the day that the table finally turns The best thing I can tell you is you've got to live and learn And other people's obstacles are none of your concern When they say Find a positive in every situation They have no idea what demons you are facin' You can shut them down Or you can put them on display But the problem is no matter where you place them It's impossible to shake off the sensation They're still there for you And they'll never go away Never go away Now you're two stops from the edge as your body tries to fight it But that small voice in your head tries to tell you just to try it Got the devil on your left and an angel on your right Your mind is so distorted that it's not just black and white The only thing you're thinking of is there's no end in sight When they say Find a positive in every situation They have no idea what demons you are facin' You can shut them down Or you can put them on display But the problem is no matter where you place them It's impossible to shake off the sensation They're still there for you And they'll never go away Never go away
