Dissonance

Flighting thoughts disturb the peace I once enjoyed
A sense of balance that has long since been destroyed
And in the ruins all that's left are tears and hurt
A deep and perfect pain I surely must deserve

I'm not looking for a saviour
I am right here on my own
I'm not asking for forgiveness
I'm just looking for my home

I hate this dissonance
This discontent that strangles me
Strayed far from innocence
To have the light, be so naive

At odds with who I am and who I want to be
Against the grain of individuality
Choices were made and consequences settled on
A fatalistic game in which I played upon

I'm not looking for a saviour
I am right here on my own
I'm not asking for forgiveness
I'm just looking for my home

I hate this dissonance
This discontent that strangles me
Strayed far from innocence
To have the light be so naive

Sometimes we have to lose in order to find our place
Sometimes another chance means falling on your face
But wounds will heal, pain's a teacher in the end
Life goes on and time gives us the chance to mend

I'm not looking for a saviour
I am right here on my own
I'm not asking for forgiveness
I'm just looking for my home

I hate this dissonance
This discontent that strangles me
Strayed far from innocence
To have the light be so naive
