Emotional Irrationality

What is the truth?
There are no rules for thee
Those all seem to belong here, with me
Now holding heavy resentment for the word clarity
Late night musings bring up something, but I won't retreat

I muster laughter
at the expense of irony
Take it back
Take it back
Take me back to before that passenger seat

Do you know where I've been?
Did you listen at all to our shared dreams?
Eliciting a response from a barstool
Featuring the written words of a melodramatic dead-fool
I'm not the beast you've driven me to see

I've never been one to go down on my knees
Gifted me quiet desperation, not defeat
Do you know what I've found?
Did you see who we could be?
Everything's now familiar terrain 

There are ones who impact everyone they meet
A heavy burden and responsibility
Without heart and soul
Plausible deniability
Even while sitting in the driver's seat

Do you fear what I see?
Can you taste what I breathe?
There are those who choose
to avoid accountability
They break through doors and smash our walls
Leave us a mess, rinse and repeat
