Middle Ground
Ghoti Hook

Words by Joel Bell and Conrad Tolosa
Music by Joel Bell


Told to sit there on the couch
Arms crossed with no idea about what they wanted to tell me
That meant so much
Then it all came out
Another thing to think about
Another twist to keep me down and all confused
Weary once again

Walking home from school one day I'm thinking
Of how I could be not a part of life
Because they'll never be done with all the fights
Done with taking me into the middle ground
Quartering me with no success
Weary once again

I can't say the slate is clean
In some ways it will never be
To forget is what I cannot ever do
I'm left with only one
The other gone forever saved
No more reason to blame, it is all on me
I relent and go on
