ACCOUNTABLE Lyrics

I seal myself inside a box

Where there is only room for me

Regret hangs heavy like a despondent

Protector you can't see

And in my wallowing and sorrows

I find comfort in my plea

With voices swinging between vapid,

Neutral, solemn, and guilty

And they say

If you could just hold on for today

You could chase all your fabricated fears away.

Life's not meant to live in such a way

Hiding in the shadows of your yesterdays

This is just a crutch so you can say

That you're justified in feeling such dismay

You are the commander of yourself

Hard to swallow pills when you're accountable

Life's not meant to live in such a way

Don't sit back and wait for qualms to go away

I seal myself in padded rooms

And call it comfort in a tomb

My meditations feature musings

Of macabre and dark and gloom

My friends say

If you could just hold on for today

You could work toward happiness and better days

Life's not meant to live in such a way

Hiding in the shadows of your yesterdays

This is just a crutch so you can say

That you're justified in feeling such dismay

You are the commander of yourself

Hard to swallow pills when you're accountable

Life's not meant to live in such a way

Don't sit back and wait for qualms to go away

You could be free

And alive

You could be free

If you tried

There is a life to live outside

Even a chance that you would thrive

There is a life to live outside

Give it your best shot, you'll survive

Life's not meant to live in such a way

Hiding in the shadows of your yesterdays

This is just a crutch so you can say

That you're justified in feeling such dismay

You are the commander of yourself

Hard to swallow pills when you're accountable

Life's not meant to live in such a way

Don't sit back and wait for qualms to go away
