You're a good man but you struggle sometimes
To suppress, the fears about yourself that you hide
And it manifests in ways that draw a circle around your soul
And you couldn't say and wouldn't want to even if you knew how
So try to mask the shame
For what it's worth, balanced out, there's not much to be gained
Cause if you knew how, and spoke of perceived sin
There's no guarantee that anyone'd be listening
You speak in ciphers born of catastrophic cyclones in your mind
It don't work and it don't convey anything besides
Veiled frustration at reality but that's so hard to find
When you try, you can't, you won't, you never will decide what
What that really is, you're back, back, and forth and forth
Never catching it
When you decide what, what that really is
I don't wanna be there when you find out this is it
And you try say "please don't", never wanted to know
And I try say "please don't", you decide which way things'll go
If you knew how, to try to mask the shame
For what it's worth, balanced out, there's not much to be gained
Cause if you knew how, and spoke of perceived sin
There's no guarantee that anyone'd be listening
And you try say please don't, never wanted to know
And I try say please don't, you decide which way things'll go
