lyrics

I hope this doesn't come off as a pathetic attempt at a lesson.
But if I do say, the moral of this tale
Is you better really love what you're doing.

I've been wearing the same green bra
For the last few years.
It has served me well in that time
And now it frays at the seams.
You've been wearing that same ugly frown
For the past few years.
Fixture, pillar, your sullen facade
Precipitated by your own fear of living.

All you gotta do is change your mind.
Self-perpetuated bear trap keeps contentment confined.
All you gotta do is change your mind.

I've been meaning to buy a new bra
For the last few years.
But I've grown accustomed to this
And thus willing to suffer for convenience.
You've been meaning to change your scene
For the past few years.
Projections, rejections, plans falling through.
Sabotaged by your own fear of living.

All you gotta do...

Now it seems you're wearing the bra
And I the look of gloom.
I have decided not to address
The big, fat elephant in the room.
Now it seems you're moving ahead
On this path for yourself that you've groomed.
While I remain mired in this muck
That sucks me further and further from the truth.
