Beyond The Cover (2/22/2008)

Can you see past the cover and through the eyes
To a point where you find the truth inside
There’s no use in lies in these situations
But patience is thinned by these accusations
Your judgment is taken without much purpose
And you’re certain of what’s behind these curtains
Your dreams and curses and thoughts of doubt
Born without ground and not worth the sound
Cause I’ve found that I just can’t take this
I try to be complacent, but, man, I hate this
I’ve not seen your faces and all vice versa
Yet you tend to think that I can only hurt her

Please don’t get me wrong, I can see your logic
But, honest to god, can’t we all just stop it
Let’s cut the nonsense and take a breath
Then let’s take this mess and put it laid to rest
Cause I ain’t the best, but I’ve paid my debts
Though I’ll save the rest for this pain filled chest
You may hate the set, but you’re not on stage
This road is mine and I’ve paid the way
And I’ve made my way to be someone better
I can stand the storm and outlast the weather
But I’m really fed up that actions don’t speak for me
They scream the truth that it’s never done easily
But everything I seem to be is everything invented
I hate assumptions, but I love to vent it
You think you’re better and you think you get it?
I think you’re wrong with every step and sentence
