Otherness

With You

reprogram

Sometimes it really feels like you are being punished for something you did in another life, the way things just keep getting so close to breakthrough and just failing for often seemingly a new set of reasons. Only when you realise you have to play it differently, do you see the power of transcending karma - like a corner turner :) 

Corner Lyrics 

Counting days 
Without a clock 
A dungeon takes 
My freedom state 
How’d I get here?
Where’s the key?
Will I ever work out 
How to get outta here?

Bouncing on a lie that brings 
Twisted coping for toxic things 
Blind loyalty lingers 
For sabotaging ways
With cold crossed fingers 
Hoping to be saved 
As if life works like that
Nothing rolls like that

When will I ever out run the karma 
Will it be around this corner?
When will I ever out run the karma 
Please let it be around this corner
(Around this corner) 
(Around this corner) 
I need it to be (Around this corner)

Am I to blame for what I did?
I was trained to react like this
You insist I should have 
Learned new tricks 
As if controlling emotions 
Was an easy fix 
Pushed to hide, avoid the fight
My fears pushed out my heart ’n mind

Bouncing on a lie that brings 
Twisted coping for toxic things 
Blind loyalty lingers 
For sabotaging ways
With cold crossed fingers 
Hoping to be saved 
As if life works like that
Nothing rolls like that

When will I ever out run the karma 
Will it be around this corner?
When will I ever out run the karma 
Please let it be around this corner
(Around this corner) 
(Around this corner) 
I need it to be (Around this corner)

I wanted to do more 
I really did 
But the times I tried 
I got played and hit 
There’s only so many times 
You can tough it out 
Before they wear you out 
I got buried in doubt

Stripped naked 
Except for my sins 
Makes me wonder 
What can I bring
To this moment 
All encompassing? 
I have nothing to lose
Maybe something to win

Bouncing on ideas that bring
A start to hoping, a better think
A new loyalty triggers 
Reaching my fingers 
Confronting the facts 
Now I roll like that

When will I ever out run the karma 
Maybe this time 
Now that I’m calmer 
Cooling the fever
Taking a breather 
Going deeper 
Turning the corner
(This corner) 
(This corner) 
(This corner) 
Turning this corner 
(This corner)
(This corner) 

When will I ever out run the karma 
It’s now or never 
I am the starter 
I pulled the lever 
Took a breather 
Went way deeper 
Turned the corner
Only to get to another corner
(So many corners)
Am I the corner turner?
(A real life learner)
The obstacle burner 
(For every corner) 
I am, I am 
The corner turner
