Taunt me with the unobtainable<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dangle that damn carrot already<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Build the trap with smoke and mirrors<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So I forget what I don\u2019t have<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wrap me in what would never be<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And keep me from what\u2019s out there<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Reality is a game I just won\u2019t play<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Better to lose in fantasy<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And surround myself in broken dreams<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Of what lies just out of reach<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Than to stretch my fingers<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Out toward the treasured goal<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And fall just short<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Save the trying hard<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For what would never succeed<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And spare the pain of barely losing<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So I can lie and blame it on<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What I found myself caught up in<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Instead of fixing the broken<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And getting back up to try again<\/p>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
