lyrics

What could it be
I've forgotten that I didn't want to know
Implausibly
I cannot understand
Carried away
By what I thought I'd buried long ago
Needless to say
This is not what I planned

But deep underneath
This cracked facade that I show the world
Pieces of me fight to be released
Bearing their teeth proving to me
That they won’t stay hidden
What will I do now that
They’re breaking through

Losing control
To what I thought that I'd compartmentalized
It takes its toll
On my security
Turns me around
Up and down until I finally realize
What I have found
Could be the best part of me

A little complication
Amidst all of my hesitation
grounding me confounding me
As much as I may want to hide
I need to set my fears aside
Wide-eyed just take the ride

I can't be sure
Whether I have made the right choice or not
What I'll endure
When it's all said and done
But so it goes
Now that it's the only choice I've got
And I suppose
That it's only begun

Out from underneath that
Cracked facade I once showed the world
Pieces of me have finally released
Sinking their teeth deep into me
Now that they're unbidden
What can I do
Now that they've broken through
