Don't celebrate wine, but the abandon within.
The moment it becomes a chain, you must abandon it.
I've had a couple of lives, and love's a lot like that.
There's no retreat that won't malign if you won't handle it.
It's hard to admit that it's a flaw to believe
that there exists some perfect version of me.
That if I made the right choices, listened to all the right voices,
that I would be wholly redeemed.
I've tried to be righteous. I've tried to be safe.
Let the little sins wither. Let the anger take its place.
But if I tamp it down, will I grow bitter and old?
And if I let it run wild, that's how I'm seen by the world.
It's hard to admit that it's a flaw to believe
that there exists some perfect version of me.
That if I made the right choices, listened to all the right voices,
that I would be wholly redeemed.
There's no way to win
but to let go and live.
I've been afraid of what I might find if I did.
In my attempts to be right,
I've stumbled into the light -
That always being right is no way to live.
It's hard to admit that it's a flaw to believe
that there exists some perfect version of me.
That if I made the right choices, listened to all the right voices,
that I would be wholly redeemed.
