Good Reason

Who are you to float into my room
The window closed, the locks are bolted to
Who was I to think I could sleep you off my mind
When my eyes close, you come uninvited

Don’t lie to me and say I had good reason
I won’t lie to you because I know you would believe it
I was naive to think that this meant freedom
I watched you creep in
To my heart beating
The light you left is confining fetter
The weight I felt was lighter together

Every night brings a new beginning
Every morning brings a broken heart
Broken faith, rules, and promises
And your ether brings bumps to my arms

I saw you leaving, still feel you breathing
I won’t lie to you because I know you would believe it
I was naive to think that this meant freedom
I watched you creep in
To my heart beating
The light you left is a confining fetter
The weight I felt was lighter together

There was a time when the teeth aligned
The elements held tight
Now off track, this useless slide
Won’t pull you to my side

Don’t lie to me and say I had good reason
I won’t lie to you because I know you would believe it
I was naive to think that this meant freedom
I watched you creep in
To my heart beating
The light you left is confining fetter
The weight I felt was lighter together
Don’t you lie to me and say I had good reason
I won’t lie to you because I know you would believe it
