Schizotypical

 

Such a little slip-up

And now a mole-hill is a mountain.

If you could only keep from covering up

You wouldn't be faced with such a challenge.

Yeah, it felt right at the time.

They felt like words that ought to be spoken.

But blame-shift driven pride's a defense that's meant to be broken.

 

I watch you back into your corner.

Walls up.

And turn to malfunctioning defense mechanisms.

I wish I could feel some sympathy,

But you've done this to yourself

And you know the way out.

But will you take it?

 

Well it's not the first time

but it's a pattern that's been re-lived repeatedly.

Your offense meant to take me out

Has become a habit that is self-defeating.

Yeah, it felt right at the time.

Almost like a heart that ought to be broken.

Go ahead, run and hide

And leave your apologies left unspoken.

 

I watch you back into your corner.

Walls up.

And turn to malfunctioning defense mechanisms.

I wish I could feel some sympathy,

But you've done this to yourself

And you know the way out.

But will you take it?

 

Maybe I should forgive.

Maybe I'm shooting myself in the foot

Everytime I don't get up and walk away.

I just don't have the strength to turn and walk away.

 

And you'll be forgiven

When I start to follow the example that I've been given.

But for now you'll be forsaken.
