Streetlamp

Sometimes I'm steady like a rock
Sometimes the truth speaks when I talk
But then again a little more often than not
I'm pushing through the fog of my own thoughts

And then the streetlamp in my head flips a switch and I come back
Ready to devise a stronger plan of attack
I know these circumstances are to help me train
To be your warrior for peace against my brain

Sometimes I'm open to receive
Sometimes even when my eyes are closed I can see
But sometimes in a matter of minutes, I'm so far down
That suddenly I'm looking up to see the ground

And then the streetlamp in my head flips a switch and I come back
Ready to devise a stronger plan of attack
I know these circumstances are to help me train
To be your warrior for peace against my brain

So don't ask me how we came to be 'cuz it really doesn't matter, you see
Because life is but a dream filled with the ultimate distractions
Maneuver your way through and you're free
Oh, if you get there first come find me
Come find me, oh

Sometimes I'm taken by surprise
Sometimes I can see God in my eyes
But sometimes like a dragon's breath the smoke reappears
And I'm blinded once again by my fears

And then the streetlamp in my head flips a switch and I come back
Ready to devise a stronger plan of attack
I know these circumstances are to help me train
To be your warrior for peace against my brain, my brain
