HALF TOLD by Tom Jensen
Behind my eyes I can’t let you in
The best I can do is begin again
I let you down and myself to
With all the shit I put you through
Been having a hard time holding my head up high
Been having a hard time sorting truth from lies
I’m not sure where I should go from here
I don’t know if it shows but I’m fucking scared
Seems like everyone I know has disappeared… through the years
I’ve been looking for something new
And I don’t know what to do
I’ve been seeking to make changes
Having thoughts that are the strangest
I’ve been hiding from my demons
While pretending I don’t see them
Yet I feel their presence creeping
Around my room when I am sleeping
And I find it quite disturbing
More than a little bit unnerving
When you’re trying to go straight but keep on swerving
And before it’s too late the lesson you are learning
Is you can’t go back and change the past
It catches up with you living fast
As shiny gold turns to rusty bronze
You have to ask yourself where’d I go wrong?
As you trace back the last twenty years
Wondering how on earth did I end up here?
Yet you’re unsure of whether to laugh or cry
Though you’re not tired you close your eyes…
You feel a tear and you don’t know why?
So with retrospect you gaze inside
Never been alone – not with pain and fear
Your travelling companions through the years…
Yet you’re scared of some the past seeds you’ve sowed
So your conscious carries such a heavy load…
I’ve grown tired of these escapades
I’m trying to take back the day
The hands of time can’t be rewound
But I refuse to stay sorrow bound
They say everybody’s got a story
A fall from grace or shining in glory
As of now the tale’s only half told
And my fate awaits just up open the road, yeah!
