As It Is


It isn't you that's causing me to fear It's what you didn't say to those who turned But I know it's all gone away Never again to see what I see As I lack the proper consideration It's just another way to set things in motion Test the water, as it flows The light fuels what shines the longest And smothers whatever is left to me Rediscover, incineration Take the credit, as it is And I'll watch it float away Strangled by increasing blame Watching as it sets in motion Recover, communication It's you and me and you and me It's us and them and us and them It's yours and mine and yours and mine Now I ask you Reconsider, the situation
