So Sorry - Hangnail

I can’t defend every shameful mention of me

It takes a long time searching before you conceive

That every moment and each selection, seperate

Your reputation from what you think others perceive

Who am I to decide the intent

And every motivation behind an event

I see through tainted vision

When I can’t even read myself

So sorry I’m the one waving scarlet flags overhead

Declaring this unstable ground

So sorry I’m the one unafraid of breaking the news

So sorry I’m the only one

When confrontation feels like posing a threat

And when you’re miles from making a regiment

You’re getting nowhere, you might consider moving on

Cause perseverance doesn’t always mean overcome

Why try to hide the obvious

You’ll never reach success from solemness

I’ve set the standards lower

I’ve managed to restore my past
