It's finally clear,
The fog is gone.
No longer feeling like I'm someone else's pawn.
Can finally rest, without the weight of tomorrow on my mind,
But still haunted by my detachment from the grind.
My family is finally happy, not stable, but happy.
Might not seem like much, but it makes me feel less crappy.
It's finally clear,
The fog is gone.
No longer feeling like I'm someone else's pawn.

But beneath all that smile you see on my face,
I just know something is gonna creep up and take its place.
So I always stay on my feet, regardless of whether I deserve a break,
I'll rest when I'm finished, however long that takes.

I guess it's not finally clear,
The fog isn't truly gone.
And I still feel like I'm someone else's pawn.
But on a deeper constraint,
Removing the rhymes.
You gotta realize that you might be too safe for a person sometimes,

Too steady.
Too sincere.
Too grounded for someone still chasing chaos, confusing unpredictability with passion.
It's not that you're lacking,
It's just that they're not ready for peace that doesn't come with pain.
A non-toxic life isn't something they're accustomed to and that's not your burden to carry as much as how you want to.

That doesn't mean you should abandon them.
You can advise them,
You can love them,
But ultimately, you'll only be able to do so much for them.
But it will not take away the hurt and emotional exhaustion that they have endured.

It will be finally clear,
The fog will be gone.
You'll no longer feeling like you're someone else's pawn.
You just have to be at peace with whatever and let God run the show.
Let his light be your medication, and watch your mindset start to grow.
No don't need to tell anyone, through his glory they'll know,
That you're a child of God and through you, his patience flows.

And you can proudly say,
It's finally clear,
The fog is gone.
No longer feeling like I'm someone else's pawn.
