Self Defiance

Take my fingers, take my hands.
Save me from myself, selfish distractions.
Board the windows, and lock all doors.
Save me from my flaws, misguided solutions

I'm always walking on the easiest path.
And I know, that rode, it leads to nothing.
Aligned by my footsteps and led me to the route
that you've laid for me ready and waiting.

Why have I turned my back so many times
on a clear direction?
Why have I listened to the whispers
that are from the dark?

Take my fingers, take my hands.
Save me from myself, selfish distractions.
Board the windows, and lock all doors.
Save me from my flaws, misguided solutions

It never seems to matter how many times
that I fail on my own,
Convinced that I'm stronger.
Your gentle hand is reaching,
leading me safely away.
From the dark, the fiction in my mind.

Why have I turned my back so many times
on a clear direction?

And once again,
I realize that I'm short of the goal.
I've wandered so far from where I should be.
I've lead myself astray for what?
For comfort? There is no comfort here...

Carry me home, carry me home
There was never any comfort here

Take my fingers, take my hands.
Save me from myself, selfish distractions.
Board the windows, and lock all doors.
Save me from my flaws, misguided solutions
