lyrics

Just for a moment
I was falling apart
Just for a moment
I was dreaming hard
Just for a moment
I felt brave enough
When just in that moment
Confrontation called my bluff

I felt endangered
Oh okay, I guess, so it goes
I saw a stranger
And I felt my courage overthrown
I came to realize
I need to make my body known
Frankly, my feelings
Have pasteurized my pheromones

You said it's not strategic, it's genuine
But how could I believe you again
It's your ego that is blinding you
You don't seem alive
If Rumi can say it, so can I

I've responsibility
Whether or not it comes from the heart
Sift through the bullshit
Compartmentalize your mind in parts
I see myself in it sometimes
Selfishness clouds reality
Recognize the mischief
And grab hold of maturity
That's the last advice I'll give to me
