they say

i have found myself right back where i didn't want myself to be
feeling crazy
like all control is gone
but i know if i am the guide of my destiny
the queen of my castle
the head of this domain
then nothing
can make me waver
divert me off the path
.
honestly
i thought i'd try honesty for a change
loosen up my soul again
from where i left it bound and gagged
i was just learning to breathe again
without need for resuscitation
but i see
that even with my glasses on
shit gets foggy
even with his arms around me
i feel lonely

so it can't be him
it's gotta be me

gotta learn to trust me enough to trust myself
to do the right thing
to say the right things
to be the right thing
just gotta be me
again.
