One pill to step through the doorway and leave what I’ve seen behind
Every painting’s true meaning revealed with additional space between anxious feet
Oh they talk a great game fancy footwork and excuses designed well to hide webs
But one little pill and I can see through every flexible reason bent for their plans
Help me look away from the fancy super drawing lights
Get me to understand looking from distance gives a fighting chance
Aloof
–
Use any excuse to avoid being direct and charge it to my passive stance
A little pill and now it all backfires my feet refuse to dance
You want assertive or do you want stone-faced or do you want me to perform smiling on cue
Tell me what you want so I can dial up a performance guaranteed to move you
Blame me for your inability to state your desires plainly
Until I look away partially numb nerve pain tingling
I’ll pray asking God for wisdom and guidance every night
Crying before him without shame as tears fall when I tell him something isn’t right
This pill they gave me to step down and away and back works so well I’ve relaxed
See the little games you play and you’ve goofed
Aloof.
