just can not seem to clear my head
no smoking no drinking or pill popping
can take away this gloomy edge,
you see
I have been a victim
you used Illusions to control my mind,
emotionally you had me chained down
with broken promises
your drug of love had me blind.

I am not mad at you
I am mad at myself
for letting you in,
the power you had to hold me
is over
and it will never happen again.

Stockdale had a flowing classic line
that stays on my mind
icebergs on tropical seas
were never meant to be,
I no longer will be
the captive audience
I just do not have the time,
so now
believing in thee Importance of nothing
is how I am gonna live my life.

Been feeling like this for hours
just can not seem to clear my head
no smoking no drinking or pill popping
can take away this gloomy edge,
you see
I have been a victim
you used Illusions to control my mind,
emotionally you had me chained down
with broken promises
your drug of love had me blind.

I am not mad at you
I am mad at myself
for letting you in,
the power you had to hold me

and it will never happen again.

Stockdale had a flowing classic line
that stays on my mind
icebergs on tropical seas
were never meant to be,
I no longer will be
the captive audience
I just do not have the time,
so now
believing in thee Importance of nothing
is how I am gonna live my life.
