Benign Disillusion Lyrics by The Accidentals

Bittersweet

2013

I’m stuck in a state of severe confusion
I’m stuck in a state of benign disillusion
Because I feel that I just can’t refuse in
Finding my way back to you
You caught me off guard with your highly trained words
You’d absorbed the knowledge of the calls of the birds
And I leaned in to hear what you were saying to her
But your voice just wouldn’t come through
And I couldn’t believe that you wouldn’t receive
The hints that I was sending
And I couldn’t quite tell if you knew it was hell
To deal with your pretending
So please make up your mind
Be present or just be resigned
I’m caught in a net of severe confusion
A bear trap well placed in a leafy illusion
An ironic cage of iron seclusion
That is locked and is missing its key
I was wondering if you had known what you’ve done
Or if all your cruel torment has only begun
But you didn’t expect that you’d be outdone
For I found a new man who loves me
And I couldn’t believe that you wouldn’t receive
The hints that I was sending
And I couldn’t quite tell if you knew it was hell
To deal with your pretending
So please make up your mind
Be present or just be resigned
So please make up your mind
Be present or just be resigned
