Shapes Lyrics by Joe Barbarulo

Settle Down

2019

(Verse)
It was cold
You had a grin on your face
At the time I was open to
The thought of my own faith

Didn't want to go
But felt like such a disgrace
I’d follow along and leave
With a bitter taste

(Pre-Chorus)
But I knew
That nothing felt any better
I knew that this
Wasn't the change in the weather

(Chorus)
You keep staring at shapes
Will they take me away?
Nothing seems to push aside the pain
I keep my eyes on the shapes
But nothing seems to change
So what makes me not worthy of seeing the same?

(Verse)
Stories of others
Didn't change my view
Instead I saw more of the pain
Breaking inside you

I begged for a sign now
But I think that I knew
Nobody would answer
A plain bagel in view

(Chorus)
The lights go out that illuminate the shapes
You see color but all I see is gray
I beg for mercy but darkness stays
They all tend to see the shapes
But nothings gone my way
Under sheets I’d rather stay

(Bridge)
If you wanted me to believe
In all the words you speak
Then you'd speak those words to me

If you wanted me to breathe
In the life I'm told to lead
You'd show me some relief

(Chorus)
I'm stuck in a room with shapes
Forced to be trapped within this place
Forced to feel like I'm erased
Have to keep up with the shapes
Cast among flames in the lake
The emptiness I cannot shake

(Outro)
How can I feel okay with myself?
When you put me up on a shelf? (x4)

I'm not myself
