The side lines
I'm sitting with tears behind these smile lines
Invisible frown lines
Broken time lines
I'm following these passages hoping they're like vines
Connected to a source that could stand through the times
"You don't have to follow their timeline"
But I'll measure your progress in comparison to mine
"Be yourself"
But I'll keep my expectations on the top shelf.
Frown lines
Upside down, you need those gown lines
A cue to leave
Grab onto that sleeve
Your future is bright if you master the eve
Of your destiny
Those who put in the work will reap happily
We're not together, but maybe we're family
That would make sense <cents>
I had to save up my emotions to pay the rent
Securing relationships that never made sense
That's why I count the cents <sense> I need to save
Banking on a future that needs me to be brave
How do you behave
When you're watching your grave
Get deeper every time you work to avoid the disgrace
Maybe that's why there's grace And tears behind these frown lines I'm trying to run away, but I can't get away from these time lines
