Despite these imperfections
despite all I say
Inside in recollections
I’m done with yesterday

I will lose my mind
make it real this time
To leave it all behind
I won’t cry wolf
Show me a sign
planets will align
I’m gonna blow my mind
I won’t cry wolf

The one I trusted sold me
this is overblown
But I didn’t want to believe
Everyone I trusted deceived me

I will lose my mind
make it real this time
To leave it all behind
I won’t cry wolf
Show me a sign
planets will align
I’m gonna blow my mind
I won’t cry wolf

I figured out
I’m holding on too tight
And I can’t let go
I’m hiding, I’m needy, on the inside I’m bleeding
I’m searching for something but
Can’t seem to find me
On the surface is someone who pretends to focus
I’m waiting and wanting to cut this and go on
Trying to live when the pain can all be gone
We’ve only seen the future
The voice in my head leading me here back home

I will lose my mind
And make it real this time
To leave it all behind
I won’t cry wolf
Show me a sign
Planets will align,
I’m gonna blow my mind
I won’t cry wolf

Show me a sign
Planets will align,
I’m gonna blow my mind
I won’t cry wolf

    finalpoet very excellent description in two words. I feel you there with the betrayal and revenge.

    Here's my view as well:

    Seems like a lot of us are caught up in the same place. The world (society) is more about tricking you into thinking you're in a euphorian society more so then you really are. Each day you wake up to billboard's of captivating beauties and watching TV of beautiful people that you can feel a place with.

    But the reality is, until we break out in our own individual lives, we are slaves to someone. Many of us have awaken only to find ourselves stuck in that corporate place or whatever it may be that seems to be an imprisonment.

    On our own individual journies we will find many answers, and the way out.

    "The one I trusted sold me this is overblown But I didn’t want to believe Everyone I trusted deceived me"

    Our attempt to be a part of society and we trust others only for reasoning of wanting to fit in. We want to be a part of something because we truly love others. That is something we cannot help.

    But now we allow ourselves to be controlled. We thought we did so well to whomever controls us, whether it be a co-worker, lover, manager, boss, whatever. Some authority figure usually.

    But that person is only a megalomaniac. They want the power and spotlight to themselves. They only service themselves.

    "I will lose my mind make it real this time To leave it all behind I won’t cry wolf Show me a sign planets will align I’m gonna blow my mind I won’t cry wolf"

    From a literal, surface perspective it looks like this person is going crazy. But in reality the transgression to a higher state involves you giving up your mind. All that logic, rationalization, and thinking needs to be taken out of you. It is what grounds you here, and sometimes it is too heavy. We need to break free and listen too our hearts. Let the mind do its thing, and you'll let nothing in.

    "I won't cry wolf"

    This is significant to me on a personal level. Because I, myself have been trapped in a job I don't like. And for the longest time I felt I couldn't break out. That if I quit I couldn't support myself. Now I'm letting faith fill in the holes and insecurities.

    So, when you're ready to make the stand, don't talk-the-talk, but know that you'll walk-the-walk jsut as well. Know that you are truly loved by higher forces out there if you stay close to your heart and do the right thing.

    And when it seems like you're going to risk it all... just know you are in soft hands.

    This song has been very personal to me.
