The Craziest Battle

I stare at you through unfamiliar eyes due to my pride 
I won't let my heart interfere with my minds
                            decision 
because wanting you isn't a win win situation
it's more like standing on the train station platform 
                              waiting
I fear that I may have been forsaken 
for months I have been raking these god damn roots
trying to uncover what should already be lying there
                                Proof  
I had tricks up my sleeves like the tricks rabbit 
but to get your attention would take dedication like 
people do when they pray at a sabbath and I am unwilling 
                             I'd rather 
not think about how you make me feel 
even though the thoughts are so unreal 
It would take me down the wrong rode before it turned 
                             right 
So despite all this heightened hype that my heart
is constantly throwing like fresh snow balls 
to my membrane I choose the sane lane 
I'm not playing the blame game or trying
to throw dirt on your name because it all 
remains the same 
                            I want you 
and that's when I realized that not a thing has changed
you will forever be my heart and minds craziest battle
