College Try - In Media Res...

Shaken from a dream again
On silent ocean sand
Beneath the water, something darker
Pull me from the shallow end
Pace the pavement
Down gateway
Brick by brick and day to day
Just another brick to lay
Sweet aromas catch the light
Townhouse billowing at night
Daylight breaking, I’m just shaking
Hoping I can make things right
I need a change of scenery
Let’s get some space between you and me
And say it’s better for the family
You call this running
I call it escaping
The weight of the guilt I was born with
And the suitcase you left me
Cast away the guilt again
Swear that you’re a happy man
I’m glad for you, I wish I was too
But I’m not sure I have a chance
So let’s just go our separate ways
Pretend it was my fault that we strayed
From the path, you never mapped
I guess this tracks all the same
You told me on the day you left
“Write me songs and I’ll listen in”
I told you I can’t, you’re not gone yet
I only write about the dead
I guess that everyone can change
I wish that you would do the same
But that’s just selfish, who am I?
To wish for you, to live a lie
You call this running, I call it escaping
The weight of the guilt I was born with And the suitcase you left me
I packed my bags and I left in the dark of the night
I’m not giving up, I’m just forfeiting all our fights
You call this running, I call it escaping
The weight of the guilt I was born with And the suitcase you left me
I packed my bags and I left in the dark of the night
I’m not giving up, I’m just forfeiting all our fights
