Too Close to See

A cup of two day old coffee

You're feeling like yourself again

You're still on your own, you've survived another night

In this dingy room with the same four walls

Looking in the mirrors getting easier these days

That old friend anger is losing its hold on you

The key to survival in this crazy world

And it's good to see you're still standing strong

Not too long ago you were tearing at a world

That would never let you in

Strung out, outcast turned away

You kept your face to the ground

And fought the world with your silence

And so the seasons change

And the people change

And the good times come

And the good times go

Found yourself in a winless race

Fighting for a cause you never believed

Its easy to regret not so easy to forget

All the stupid things that used to hold you down

You gotta brake that chain and move on

'Cause I know I've seen it in your eyes before

To surrender now to throw it all away

Is a sacrifice that you can't repay

In a world that don't owe you shit

You gotta think for yourself

And fight every bit of that piece of mind

That keeps you going on

Gets you outta bed and out that door

Get back take a look around and soon

You'll find there's something more

That'll come your way

With a little patience

It will all work out for you in the end

This is my song to a friend that never needed anyone until now

Some times you get too close to see

A different side of what life could be

And if you stare too long

It all becomes a blur and its easy to forget just who we are

Don't stare to hard, just take a look around ...
