Composure - Sycamour

You’re being lied to

The ones that claim your heart

Are constricting the life from your mind

You can’t face it

So you maintain the blind

Sedated, sedated, sedated

Do you really want to give it all up?

For a sweet scent debasement

Do you really want to give it all up?

You’re placing lives at stake, can’t let you walk away

If I can’t make you stop, I’ll have to take you out

Can I get a little tighter grip on my hands, God?

Composure fit for a man:

If I never see her again?

(If I never see her again?)

I will sleep all alone

Until she comes home

Or let go

Let go

I see the passion slowly leaving from your eyes

I’m trying to save you

I tried to save you

But there was nothing to hold onto

You were sinking

I had to leave it

The void was screaming for your blood

Give me some perspective

I’m made of flesh and bone

I am not your god

Don’t be so pretentious

You’re placing lives at stake, can’t let you walk away

If I can’t make you stop, I’ll have to take you out

Can I get a little tighter grip on my hands, God?

Composure fit for a man:

If I never see her again?

(If I never see her again?)

I will sleep all alone

Until she comes home

Or let go

I know, I know we all fear the hounds

But what’s life worth when it’s lived underground?

We can save some be we cannot save them all

Sacrifices must be made

There’s no peace without exchange

Legs buckle under burdened backs

But what of free hearts and minds?

Staked, placed inside my hand:

Contrived

(Trenton Woodley):

These snakes I see seething

Bring promise redeemed for your soul:

Cheap clothes with loose seams and holes

Steady your breathing, remember your role

My whole world, I don’t want to have to end you

Stay the course at hand

You promised we’d be to the end

I can’t let you take this chance

All I ever wanted was your honesty

Can I get a little tighter grip on my hands, God?

Composure fit for a man:

If I neversee her again?

(If I never see her again?)

I will sleep all alone

Until she comes home

Or let go
