Cynical As Me

from Running In Sunlight by Sandtimer

/

lyrics

To see you discovering all these problems for yourselves
I warned you, really warned you, but it didn’t really help
and I don’t want to annoy you but I want to make you see
and I won't stop until you're cynical as me

At the helm of something ordered around those who don’t belong
is not worth the friendly gestures if there’s nothing else beyond.
To rain on your parade will leave us cold and in the shade
but I can’t stop until you’re cynical as me

And it breaks my heart one hundred times the hurt already felt
and the fear is now returning though I thought it had been dealt with
and I’m forced to face a dream through which I’ve already slept
and it’s so hard to watch these things emerge which can’t be helped.

To see the time and love you put in going all to waste
and the apathy and vitriol so bitter to the taste
and I do not want to hurt you but I want you to be free
so I’ve got to make you cynical as me

All the messages unanswered, all the good will still untried
it can often feel like dancing with your shoelaces tied
to an apathetic clown who is walking upside down
and I can’t stop until you’re cynical as me

And it breaks my heart one hundred times the hurt already felt
and the fear is now returning though I thought it had been dealt with
and I’m forced to face a dream through which I’ve already slept
and it’s so hard to watch these things emerge which can’t be helped

They can't be helped.
