lyrics

Bend (Nancie Tief & Camden Tatsapaugh)


Patterns, and templates, rhymes, rules, and regrets
Comforting phrases and thrilling vignettes
Running in circles, it’s ridiculous and sublime
Am I going forward? Or am I just out of time?

An endless search for an elusive ideal
Fact or fiction – this picture can’t be real
Another mirage, another secret trap door
The answer there isn’t the one I’m looking for

You say that I must color between the lines
But all I need is the freedom to be me
Can you promise that this will all make sense?
And that one day the lines will be my friends
And I’ll make them bend

It’s a riddle, a puzzle, a set of tumblers, a skeleton key
There is no GPS from point A to step B
You can sit beside me, but you best be aware
I’ll turn it sideways whenever I dare

So don’t say that I must color between the lines
Because what I need is the freedom to be me
Can you promise that this will all make sense?
And that one day the lines will be my friends
And I’ll make them bend
