Subtle Bruise

Simple to complicate
But lately I believe
That something's in the way
Strange but now I see it

Don't try and waste my time
It's a problem that always starts with you
A nowhere never shines
Lead me to the ring that I jump through

It's not me, it's not me
When I try, still I lose
But I'm waiting, taking the subtle bruise

Leap from the marsealee
Can't describe my calling
Rendered a castaway
Will I collide when falling

Sometimes the sickness fades
I'm screaming in the ear of solitude
Can't look past the eyebrow raised
Confusion is all I promised you

It's not me, it's not me
When I try, still I lose
But I'm waiting, taking the subtle bruise

It's not me, it's not me
When I try, still I lose
But I'm waiting, taking the subtle bruise

Your feet are full of glass from walking on me
I guess I always hid how fragile I could be
If my salvation isn't near, maybe I'll find it on line
You're letting the rope slip to hang me from a vine

I didn't complicate this
I didn't complicate this
I didn't complicate this
I didn't complicate this
I didn't complicate this
I didn't complicate this

It's not me, it's not me
When I try, still I lose
But I'm waiting, taking the subtle bruise

It's not me, it's not me
When I try, still I lose
But I'm waiting, taking the subtle bruise

It's not me, it's not me
But I'm waiting, taking the subtle bruise
