1. PARTS OF ANYTHING

This time I’ll go
I’ll make it clear
And you’ll know where you left me
When my mind was made of fear
This time I’ll go
As the ways unfold - you lose your hold
And I must remember
What it’s like being on my own

And if this time doesn’t show you
What you’ve made of me - you won’t be free
You won’t hear even silence
When it fills you haltingly
How could I prove that we’re not the same?
Contrasting perceptions under one name
How could I tell you, make you believe?
How does one mind break free?

You won’t see me smiling ’til I’m gone
Your lies have kept on piling for too long
And now that these days grow numbered
Take my slumber, take it, I’m jaded from hanging on
And you will see me smiling when I’m done

Since time can’t heal you, mark this day
I’ll take my part and walk away
I’ll clean up this page and write new chapters
Free from all dismay
How could I prove that all my unrest
Derives from pretending to not be oppressed?
I won’t look back, won’t shed a tear
This time I’ll go, I’ll make it clear

You won’t see me smiling ’til I’m gone
Until I’m part of something I must run
