Keep in mind the daily grind if ever you find that moment in time when things align
Sit back, unwind, keep yourself well grounded but loosely defined, and then, when it’s the darkest…
Step up and shine, before your sanity snaps like a twine
I use to look in the mirror and whisper “I love you”
Now I look in the mirror and scream “Who are you!”
I want to go some place no one’s ever been and ride the back of the north wind
Remember, it’s nowhere near as bad as it seems, and it’s so much better than we could ever dream
Keep in mind the fine line between agony and sublime
Pianos falling down a mountainside wasn’t a very good place to hide
I know I need pain, but does it have to be in such high doses
Because the closest I’ve come to being truly free is knowing just how stuck I am
Yeah, it taken everything I’ve got to admit that I’ve got nothing
It hurts being free, those chains seemed to hold some things together I’d rather hadn’t come undone
Maybe it’s that I don’t like having to see such a mess and know that the mess is me
It’s hard to look at but it’s not hard to see, it’s hard to find but it’s not hard to be
I want to take it all away and start over again,
Take you to some faraway place where the mysteries of love never end
But then I remember that you wouldn’t be you and I wouldn’t be me if we hadn’t felt the pain and lived through the confusion-Harsh Reality- Understand redemption, Do I really want to change, or do I want everyone else to be just like me? The bottomless handbag from which he produces his shiny distractions is an additional subtraction, convincing myself that it’s really some kind of satisfaction, emotional abstractions create fractions of something I might be able to call love and happiness
Maybe I should just forget all the rest and call it a day, but all of my expectations keep getting in the way
I want to see you come alive, I want to see the death in you die
But everything that’s nothing keeps leading me astray
So I can’t wallow in remorse over the fact that yesterday was more or less another lost opportunity to say…..
That I love you, that I need you, and you need me, we can’t go it alone, we need each other
To keep from falling asleep at the wheel, despite what you may feel, this thing called life is not a solitary issue….
And if you don’t come now….I promise I will miss you
