I Only Said

I only said those things
so you couldn't put it back on me
What's said is said
but I never lied
and the harder I try the harder it gets to remember
the path that led me to this place
There seems to be no way out of here
I only wanted to protect myself
from meaning and cause
But you can only try to lift yourself
out of the gutter so long

Your form surrounds me
I'm left alone
An empty space

At least it's my place
and the end result is a world that never cared for the likes of different ideas
I had security
Now it's gone

Can't take this pressure
and I don't blame youth
The blame's on you
and it stands forever

Open your tired eyes
It could make a difference
At least just try
By recreating the system
