Bowl of Mixed Emotion

sweet, sweet lemons

you are bitter, oh so bitter

in the end

pouring on sugar

of denial, in denial

i pretend

i am the actor

 _when you’re feeling out of place

you hear my laughter

 _as the tears roll down your face

i’m in a bowl of mixed emotion

craving for the savory truth

        

open your eyes

in the darkness, in light of

what it takes

tempering the sweetness,

with a touch of, oh a taste of

sour grapes

you are the actor

_when I’m feeling out of place

i hear your laughter

_as the tears roll down my face

into a bowl of mixed emotion

craving for the savory truth

i don’t wanna believe that which is false

i don’t wanna be hiding from my fears

i don’t wanna pretend I’m someone else

i just wanna be true

i’m in a bowl of mixed emotion

craving for the savory truth

hungry for the savory truth

only for the savory truth
