Facing Up - Kate Voegele

I use no exaggeration

I’m plainly hanging by a thread

And I’m running low on patience

But don’t go blame it on yourself

I wish that I was in my right mind

But I’ve left myself unnecessary chores

I make it bad when it’s just fine

I was whole and sure and now I’m clearly torn, 'cause there’s

Nothin' left for me to do

Right and left both bring me to

The center of my deepest fear

Where the truth is oh so clear

Embracing inescapable truth

And that’s Facing Up to You

And truth is so cruel

Continual irresolution

Keeps me shackled to the ground

And I’ve been in dire need of revolution

For far too many days to count

I thought I was safe in the Hiding Place

But it sure is exhausting, livin' in chains

It’s paradoxical in every way

Nothin' makes sense

I can’t tell love from hate… and there’s

Nothin' left for me to do

Right and left both bring me to

The center of my deepest fear

Where the truth is oh so clear

Embracing inescapable truth

And that’s Facing Up to You

Truth is so cruel

I’m beggin' myself to make something of it

I give up still unable to comprehend

My own true will…

Nothin' left for me to do

Right and left both bring me to

The center of my deepest fear

Where the truth is oh so clear

Embracing inescapable truth

And that’s Facing Up to You

Facing Up to You

Facing Up to You
