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

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

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

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

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

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

Like some melancholy play[00:00:48]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Like some melancholy play[00:01:41]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Scream loud in proclamation[00:02:13]

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

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

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

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

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

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

Extinguish my light[00:02:37]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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