Displaced Truth (feat. Alex Zarek)

from It Could Be Worse - EP by Havens

/

lyrics

This isn't what I expected.
Disappointed to say the least.
Please give me some time to myself,
To collect my thoughts and breathe.

There's an unsettling discomfort in
not knowing what's next.
It's as prevalent as the heart
that beats in my chest.

And for whatever reason,
I can't seem to shake the feeling,
like I'm locked inside a cage; a lost, sad soul
with no hope of escape.

No, I'm not looking for any of your sympathy
just some much needed clarity. My eyes are open
but somehow, I still fail to see; this displaced truth
brings out the worst in me.

I'm so misguided, you led me a stray.
Dragged through the mud again
as if there was no other way.

If only I could rewrite the words that won't erase.
I'd like to make sense of this mess
and fill in the dead space.

And for whatever reason, I can't seem to shake the feeling,
like I'm locked inside a cage; a lost, sad soul
with no hope of escape.

No, I'm not looking for your sympathy just
some much-needed clarity.
My eyes are open but somehow
I still fail to see; this displaced truth
brings out the worst in me.

Blinded by love in a sacred place
Blinding my heart as I try to save face
Blinding myself like there's no other way

Like I've stayed my welcome an
I've been replaced. There was never a now or a then
just the time in between. And I didn't come here to bleed
but maybe that's just what I need
I didn't come here to bleed
But maybe that's what I need

Forget the promise you made
And let me die in this cage
I didn't come here to bleed (but maybe that's what I need)
I didn't come here to bleed (but maybe that's what you need)

My eyes are open but somehow, I still fail to see;
this displaced truth brings out the worst in me.
