I haven't been as present lately as I would like to be

And some things aren't as complicated as I would make them seem

There's no ignoring ringing in my ears and no relief

Like a bluebird resting on my shoulder

But I can't make it sing

There's a reason to stay

There's a reason to walk away

I'll either burn bright or fade

But the notes just won't resonate

I've been trying not to waste my time

I wake up to lightning through my blinds

The cycle's not so vicious now that the ends just don't connect

I'll focus on the introspective

A look inside my chest

Calm and try to collect

Celebrate what you haven't missed

Busy hands never rest

Making plans

Falling from the nest

I've been trying not to waste my time

I wake up to lightning through my blinds

For years I stayed asleep

And now I try to find sense, feel love, make light
