flip it over and look the other way never speak the things you have to say paste your words upon the wall cover up the others you'd hate to recall crumble inside the world you once knew brake yourself apart into two the one you are and the one you wish to be the one you love and the one you hate to see just flip it over and see it again from another side and another way in shadows of fear and anger inside no where to run everywhere to hide lost inside your mind you stay where the world darkens on the brightest day angle the world into the moon and ride the waves that broke too soon listen to the wind race through the reeds close your eyes as the demon feeds swirled in the silence you try to ignore don't turn around to see my foot in the door grab you and feel the rush inside your heart as the fabric that is you comes apart and your heart becomes swept away by the raging sea destined to crash in to the rocks that are me so grab on tight cause here we go through the sea that neither of us could know pounding and breaking and crashing again whipping and roaring and moving within wild, reckless and living the edge foot still slipping from the perilous ledge crumbling and fading and losing your mind ain't it wondrous what a breaking damn will find mud in your eyes and salt in the air fingers losing their grip up there water still racing in perilous doom trying to make itself a little more room hear it's laughter and ravenous howl smell it's breath, sharp and foul heart beating molten steel through your veins mind trying to fight the comming pains flip it over just one more time to the gentle place where words no longer rhyme where the leaves are green and the shadows grey and joy is endless for the sun still shines and the golden moon smiles and winks for peace dwells inside your heart everything you desire there to see in front of you ready to use but you turn it over once more because you can't stand to lose and there you shall be between two lives one so sweet it's sick; other sharp as knives no matter where you look it's only a way to go remember it's only what the photo negative will show "There were times in my life when I was going insane tryin to walk through the pain.

It's getting kind of hectic up inisde there, isn't it. Just keep spinning until the cycle is done. You aren't the only one. "Glory remains unaware of my neglected dwelling where alone I sing my tearful song which has charms only for me." |
