Won't you take a second look? 
Here alone I stand awaiting your final judgment. 
All the years, flights, promises, can't amount to nothing now. 

Won't you take a second look? 
I can't force the hand of love or claim it's spoils uncooked. 
But this is life, that was faith those were promises. 

I can't bear the thought of how 

You kept me so 
Peripheral 
Never let me in beyond the corner of your eye 
Peripheral 
Fearing inconvenience you've abandoned and resigned. 

Anchor-less but still so hooked 
To the dreams and fantasies that lay awaiting us. 
I was deaf, dumb, childish 
Far too late to play an adult. 

Anchor-less but still so hooked 
To a future disappearing in a haze of dust. 
I tried black magic, witchcraft, and conjuring. 
Not a single spell has stuck. 

And you kept me so 
Peripheral 
Never let me in beyond the corner of your eye 
Peripheral 
Fearing inconvenience you've abandoned and resigned. 

Kept me so 
Peripheral 
Never let me live beyond the corner of your eye 
Peripheral 
Fearing inconvenience you've abandoned and resigned.
