Discovering The Truth About Oz - Averi

I try not to let these realizations by

Because with time they wipe the innocence from my eyes

Now the days are so much longer and the nights they seem so restless

Feelings come with clutter to weigh heavy on my chest

I feel I might have almost slipped this skin

I fear that it’s easier now for you to get in

The innocence was swept out from under us

Perceptions change when they turn the lights on

The years bring out the things I try to hide

It gets harder to ignore the once invisible

When truth comes, beside age and destroys what I thought was invincible

I could never go back and start it all again

There’s too much clutter here without the ignorance

I feel I might have almost slipped this skin

I fear that it’s easier now for you to get in

The innocence was swept out from under us

Perceptions change when they turn the lights on

The years bring out the things I try to hide

I just wish it wasn’t such a slap in the face
