Doubted Children (3/22/2006)

It’s always seems we’re joking and we never have our problems
But sometimes I think we’re hoping that somebody else will solve them
That someone will take the burden and relieve us of it’s pressure
And suddenly the weight upon our shoulders will be lesser
Though, I think we wronged the measure and we need to think about it
Our ignorance is bliss though we should really go without it
Let those other people doubt us while we find our motivation
Then we’ll drive it to the end, directly through our own frustration
And then through our own causation we’ll be everything they wished for
A perfect presentation, son and daughter that they live for
The everythings they give for and everything they’ve wanted
A perfect case and sample and a chance for them to flaunt it
Or we can just ignore it and go on and take our chances
Walking through this life and simply taking what it hands us
Letting passion grab us, living lives of risk and spite
Making our mistakes, but then making this shit right

I’m just growing so damn tired of seeing people be so critical
Never seeing what they have and then receding into cynical
I know I’m one to speak cause I know I’ve got my issues
But some people need a break or they’ll leave and never miss you
Then that’s another issue and just more damn imperfections
When you look inside her beauty don’t expect your own reflection
May I make my own suggestion? Just love her as her daughter
And let her find her way and direction and her order
Cause the more you try to sort her, the more you’re missing out
On a very special person who could clear the sky of clouds
The light inside her eyes when she’s left to be her person
Is something so damn special, so you need to drop the curtains

Notes: Very much inspired by a discussion I had with Maria, but I want people to be able to interpret this however they wish.
