Outside Your Door

Immersed in my transparency
Bothered by my discrepancy

Trying to find my way
Working out the amazing things to say

And if it all isn’t gold
Then why do I feel sold?

Sacrifice was on another to-do list
Another crumpled reverie in your fist

I put up a stop sign for my trance
A castle in the sky, a knight with a lance

It’s just a little nightmare
Nothing more to share

All it does is play upon your weakness
As if strength would make a difference

I can refuse to stand still
But no one else will

Would you believe me if I said no?
If I finally stood here and told you to go

Maybe it’s just the transparency
Bothered by my discrepancy
