lyrics

My Intention...... My Intention

You could say my intention got away from me
I stood close to the words put in my head
And the meanings rearranged

Illuminating all the gray in-betweens
I stared down every single thing you said
And the ground began to sway
Then shattered as it changed

Into a wave of reckoning
Into a wave of reckoning

Maybe there’s something to it
Being young and eager and naive
You took advantage and I didn’t see through it
So hopped up on tryin’ to please

You called it love, you called it a family
Painted pictures and you asked me to believe
Sold me things in the name of being free

My Intention...... My Intention

And you would say my intention got away from me
I stood close to the words put in my head
And the meanings rearranged

Illuminating all the gray in-betweens
I stared down every single thing you said
And the ground began to sway
Then shattered as it changed

Into a wave of reckoning
Into a wave of reckoning

My Intention
Sway....Change.....Wave.....

You pushed and I went through it over again
I had a match, but I didn’t know to use it
Till the moment I hit my end, when

You called it love, you called it a family
Painted pictures and you asked me to believe
Sold me things in the name of being free ---

My mind goes quiet, with thoughts over you
Daydreamin’ a catching that’s long overdue

Yeah, my mind goes quiet as a I picture it true
The smoke that rises stains the skies, once blue
