This man says he is unafraid Of what he's done with his own blade Yet I see fear begin to rise Where deep inside a child cries, And you don't know what you have done, You’re just a sleepwalker on the run And all the people you despise, Are too afraid to meet your eyes, And the cards delt to you may seem unfair, But you're not going anywhere Perhaps your mind just lost control, you fell into life's rabbit hole, Perhaps you didn't understand, that punishment would be at hand, but some say they see right through your pain, that all of this is just a game, And I don't know who to believe, What if I'm the one who's being deceived? And you don't know what you have done, You’re just a sleepwalker on the run And all the people you despise, Are too afraid to meet your eyes, And the cards delt to you may seem unfair, But you're not going anywhere Eyes wide open and don't see a thing, You can't see all the harm you bring And you don't know what you have done, You’re just a sleepwalker on the run I said I'm going to buy a gun and start a war, If you can tell me something worth fighting for -coldplay [This message has been edited by Wind (06-28-2003 08:36 PM).] |

"Perhaps your mind just lost control, you fell into life's rabbit hole, Perhaps you didn't understand, that punishment would be at hand, but some say they see right through your pain, that all of this is just a game, And I don't know who to believe, What if I'm the one who's being deceived?" I was reading an article about a parole hearing earlier, this could've accompanied it perfectly Liz. Unfortunetly we all get fooled sometimes. I guess the trick is not getting fooled twice by the same thing!  Enjoyed the read... |

 (big hugggssssssss) There are too many somnambulists in our world who never seem to be sober, dearest friend, I only pray that they can recognize the daylight and know people still want to help! (sad sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Liz, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton Underneath your clothes, there's an endless story |

And you don't know what you have done, You’re just a sleepwalker on the run so fitting for so many, great words wind; i feel the breeze |
