Visions of Your Reality
Ultimate Spinach Lyrics

I don't want to be a rusty suit of armor
I don't want to be a forgotten relic in your mind

Or a tumbled out forgotten castle in your mind
I don't want to be a lost and abandoned memory of yours

I just want to be a twisted willow
I want to be a symbol of freedom and growth

So I can leave you shallow thinking far behind
So I can empower you to think more deeply and meaningfully

I can feel the darkness in your shadow
I can sense the negativity and sadness within you

And the melting of the ice behind your troubled eyes
And how your emotional walls are coming down

And the discoloration of all the words you're saying
And how your lies are slowly catching up to you

As you're hunted without mercy by your lies
As the consequences of your lies continue to haunt you

I've flown so high I'll never return
I've experienced things that have changed me forever

And I've been to the bottom of the drags of your troubled soul
And I've seen the depths of your emotional pain and turmoil

And I've basked in the sun of your revelations
And I've seen you experience moments of clarity and realization

But I guess
But ultimately

You and I have different goals
We have different priorities and desires

So go and slay your dragons in blind amusment
Go ahead and face your challenges without truly understanding them

And topple imagination with a song
And try to ignore or suppress your creativity and curiosity

And the moon it plays little mind games
And sometimes your thoughts and emotions can be misleading

So you'll wonder where all the stars have gone
Leaving you feeling lost and confused as if something is missing

Listen to me
Pay attention to what I'm saying

You have spoken to be about nothing
You've talked without really saying anything meaningful

And you've shown me fantasies in a crystal ball
You've painted a false picture of what could be

And you've promised me the world for my asking
You've made grand promises without any intention of keeping them

Don't you know
Have you not realized

That to me
That from my perspective

It means nothing at all
Your words and promises hold no value to me

Because I know you'd leave me a burnt out matchbox of forgotten roses
Because I know you'd give me something that's worthless and meaningless

Inside a get well card I had to address to myself
Presumably as a result of your lack of care or concern for my well-being

But that's not what I need from another stranger
But that's not the kind of treatment I want or deserve from someone else

So I guess I better do things without your help
I'll take care of myself and succeed without your assistance

So I guess I better do things without your help
I'll take care of myself and succeed without your assistance

So I guess I better do things without your help
I'll take care of myself and succeed without your assistance
