Mary Conor - Tabula Rasa Lyrics

Longing for the Non-Existent
Go inwards
More than you ever have
I'm not afraid
To lose his game
I'm afraid to lose myself
I offered Tabula Rasa
But you choose to see my bad side
You pigeonholed me again
(you're sorry?)
Oh, Too little too late
And it's like childhood all over again
No-one can see I'm working through change
So I was looking for a shortcut
To make it there
To prove I can
To find out who I really am
But shortcuts are for fools
Devil whispered ''Come and take it''
He showed me gold
The unexpected whispers:
''It's already yours, it's already yours, it's already yours''
'Cause shortcuts are for fools,
Devil whispered ''Come and take it''
So I did - the unexpected
Our hands were always there on deck
Don't need another fakish friend
You're draining me with blame
But they all say, I'm draining myself
(...)
So I was looking for a shortcut
(...)
But shortcuts are for fools
Devil whispered ''Come and take it''
He showed me gold
The unexpected whispers:
''It's already yours, it's already yours, it's already yours''
'Cause shortcuts are for fools,
Devil whispered ''Come and take it''
So I did - the unexpected
(...)
It's already mine
