Delusions of Persecution
Haunted by the secrets you still try to keep from me
When did I become the enemy?
How can we de-escalate and start to reconcile
In the doldrums of your silent hostility?
As more fog slowly drifts over the hills
You fade into obscurity like a silhouette
Tormented by dim shadows from the past
I long for peace and genuine empathy
When will we learn to share feelings without resentment?
How do kindness and compassion lead to argument?
Is avoiding further conflict a sign of weakness?
Would you notice if I withdrew to the wilderness?
Must we sacrifice our pride not to feel so dead inside?
In your restless mind am I the only one to blame?
Should I also have been keeping score?
How were good intentions misinterpreted as threats
And authentic devotions viewed as acts of war?
As more fog slowly drifts over the hills
You fade into obscurity like a silhouette
Tormented by dim shadows from the past
I long for peace and genuine empathy
When will we learn to share feelings without resentment?
How do kindness and compassion lead to argument?
Is avoiding further conflict a sign of weakness?
Would you notice if I withdrew to the wilderness?
Must we sacrifice our pride not to feel so dead inside?
Will I suffer vertigo if you force me to let go?
