Mixed Emotions
*Rough audio cut in "Author's Note," should anyone care to listen 🙈 *
Dreams of things that split the night
All your worries, all your... trite expressions
But, you are something more, in spite
Of petty ways... mindless obsessions
I see you
Do you see you, too?
When you look into the sky
I see you
Do you see me, too?
When you close your eyes?
Dreams of things that lit the night
Endless hope and mis... direction
They fly around you like a kite
All tangled up... in indecision
But, I see you
Do you see you, too?
When you look into the screen?
Behind closed eyes
True hope, it lies
Somewhere in between
But, you're all caught up in mixed emotions
Blurred lines, of false devotions
The grey area, so aptly named
Always changing your mind
You've lost yourself to mixed emotions
Uncertainty, and blessed convulsions
The grey matter, to which these thoughts
Might feel so confined
But, I see you
You're all that's true
In a world full of lies
Just close your eyes
And recognize
It's you who splits the night
Caught up in the mixed emotions
The blurred lines, the black and white
The grey area, so aptly called
You're all that splits the night
Dreams of things that split the night
All your worries, all your... trite expressions
But, you are something more, in spite
Of petty ways... mindless obsessions
I see you
Do you see you, too?
When you look into the sky
I see you
Do you see me, too?
When you close your eyes?
Dreams of things that lit the night
Endless hope and mis... direction
They fly around you like a kite
All tangled up... in indecision
But, I see you
Do you see you, too?
When you look into the screen?
Behind closed eyes
True hope, it lies
Somewhere in between
But, you're all caught up in mixed emotions
Blurred lines, of false devotions
The grey area, so aptly named
Always changing your mind
You've lost yourself to mixed emotions
Uncertainty, and blessed convulsions
The grey matter, to which these thoughts
Might feel so confined
But, I see you
You're all that's true
In a world full of lies
Just close your eyes
And recognize
It's you who splits the night
Caught up in the mixed emotions
The blurred lines, the black and white
The grey area, so aptly called
You're all that splits the night
