I thought I was tall
And I let the rain fall
On my head
And it splattered and fell off onto the floor

A good front for a fight
Hold me up and hold me tight
Want to be happy and carefree
Remove this iron from within me

A thing to pivot on
Center my life to
Centerfold, crease, pivot
Seperate me

So much goodness and I began to puke
My stomache repulsed all this "joy"
My eyes can no longer see the glory
Smoke has filled me and stings my sight

So where does this wall come from?
How strong is it really?
Is this really my eternal home?
Right here in my parents house?

Just start fresh, again
And again and again and again...
Even this negative spirit has to restart
I'm still alive, so how do I start life over?

Obviously I have to die
Never stop dying
And the rot that stinks horribly
Blistered feet that walk still walking

Heavy heart come to terms
Spill out all the storage inside
Good, bad, doesn't matter
Its not mine so let it flow...

Romans 8:28 "And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purposes

the part about having to keep dying to come around again, very insightful Craig, because that is exactly what we need to do in order to survive.

Sadly.
