lyrics

Biding my time in an all-too-familiar light
This cycle’s got me in a whirl
Trying to move as if I have everything to prove
In this uncaring spectator’s world

And all my options only pain me, I’m stuck here in a daydream
While my choices start to fall to the ground
Maybe comfort’s an illusion I’m caught in my delusions
It’s a never-ending merry-go-round

And down every unlit path lies fertile soil where I could sow
I’m just another young miss Plath
Oh Sylvia, tell me
Where am I wanting to go?

Stuck in my mind’s eye while the rest of them pass me by
My fervor is fading
Trying to glance ahead without leaving a chance for missteps
Just waiting

And every future starts to beckon and tug, I guess I reckon
I should focus in and narrow it down
Maybe comfort’s just a figment; I thought it was a fig
But now it’s shriveled and abnormally brown

Within every fallen fruit lie seeds of a life that I could grow
I’m a puppet of my youth
Oh Sylvia, tell me, what am I wanting to know?

The longer that I wait it seems I’m only tempting fate
To move along while I’m left catching my breath
It all happens so quick, but if I cannot stand to pick
Then I’ll be by my lonesome starving to death
