Standing by making small claims
Forever hoping to be the same
Someday I hope that you
Can understand these people
Saying yeah well it was a lie
Why don't you try again
You know that...
You're lying to yourself
You won't find it hiding away
Well that's all I have to offer
Couldn't find any answers
Your hand moves to the seams
Pulling away
Saying yeah well it's all a dream
It'll pass me by
You know that...
You're lying to yourself
You won't find it hiding away
Find yourself
hiding away

This is a very good take on the prompt - I really like that you have experimented with your song writing of late
and I know that I am late in catching up with all your work 
I've broken away from - other pursuits - at the moment and am catching up on everyone I'm really enjoying reading all of your pieces!
Keep writing
