Statehood Transfixed
Complex standards bending you
Breaks in patterns and loss of view
Complex standards changing me
Ignore my motives, silence my pleas
Building walls to shatter them down
Frustrating life of repetitiveness
talking, talking, just to hear your own voice
Spouting lies and rhetoric
we are divided
we are divided
Maybe, I could be the one who quit you
Maybe, I could be the one who failed
Clearly, I am the piece of the puzzle
Maybe, I could be the one who left you
Maybe, I could be the one who changed
Clearly, I am the piece of the puzzle that never fit If
I could, would I change
keep away or rearrange
my blackest heart, my nameless face
deception - all too common these days
and now I know, yes, now I know
Maybe, I could be the one who quit you
Maybe, I could be the one who failed
Clearly, I am the piece of the puzzle
Maybe, I could be the one who left you
Maybe, I could be the one who changed
Clearly, I am the piece of the puzzle that never fit
Changing these words won't change this meaning
I won't ever get this close again
You are still caught up in all this excess
