《Mediocre Shakespeare》歌词

[00:00:01] Mediocre Shakespeare-Being As An Ocean

[00:00:21] How did I let this happen?

[00:00:24] Let myself slip back into the role of victim

[00:00:27] Thought I'd left that all "way-back-when"

[00:00:32] While forgetting Grace, I increased my own tragedy

[00:00:37] Fallen back into the "how-could-this-have-happened-to-me's"

[00:00:48] Like some melancholy play

[00:00:51] That no one paid to see

[00:00:54] I'm directing on anyway

[00:01:05] It seems we have this sickness

[00:01:07] A misconception, if you will

[00:01:09] That once we've triumphed over something

[00:01:12] It lays in the dust, eternal, never to breathe again

[00:01:17] But that's not the way this works

[00:01:19] Reflections of what haunt us

[00:01:21] Will take on new forms in the end

[00:01:25] The likes of which we'd not yet seen

[00:01:27] How quickly our hearts fill with dread

[00:01:30] Yeah, it rains on the righteous as well as the wicked

[00:01:32] But some afflictions can feel like death

[00:01:36] I've fallen back into the "how-could-this-have-happened-to-me's"

[00:01:41] Like some melancholy play

[00:01:45] That no one paid to see

[00:01:47] I'm directing on anyway

[00:01:58] We either fight or flee

[00:02:00] Which one's it gonna be

[00:02:03] Realize it's an old demon in a new disguise

[00:02:07] I hope you stand up tall to face him

[00:02:10] Pray you have the strength to look him in his eyes

[00:02:13] Scream loud in proclamation

[00:02:19] "I've seen your kind before

[00:02:22] G-d, I let the signs fly right on by

[00:02:24] Waited till my spirit was laid low

[00:02:26] But now my eyes are open wide

[00:02:30] This time I see right through your lies

[00:02:34] You've tried to put me in the ground before

[00:02:37] Extinguish my light

[00:02:41] I've got the scars to show for it

[00:02:43] But what was once a reminder of death, is now an affirmation of life

[00:02:50] Because I took the worst you threw at me and, damn it, I survived.

[00:02:55] So get behind me, devil

[00:02:58] I refuse to let myself be bound

[00:03:01] I won't adhere to mental slavery

[00:03:05] Even while your torments abound

[00:03:09] Depart from me!"

[00:03:12] I swear there's a strength inside you

[00:03:14] A faint whisper calling you to be brave

[00:03:17] And the next time it seems the darkest

[00:03:19] Like you couldn't possibly be saved

[00:03:23] Stripped of all comfort and weak

[00:03:25] I hope you face your adversary

[00:03:28] And find you're stronger than you think
