I have seen the pain and sorrow in one life
To last a whole lot more
And the visions seen inside my head
Lay strewn outside my door
There are too many things upset the balance
And leave their mark on me
And the truth is often hidden deep
Too deep for me to see
I have felt the world closing on in me
Filling up the darkest place
And the way we shout out all our sins
That are screamed into my face
Well it's enough for me to run and hide
There's too much angst hanging around
And if we tried to tally up the score
There'd be more bodies to be found
I've felt the past closing in on me
And it's driving me apart
For all the reasons I can't explain
It leaves me in the dark
And yet we still stumble through this maze
Getting more twisted up inside
As we make excuses for ourselves
Going slowly out of our minds
Now the dream is over for this time
And for now I'll say goodnight
Don't be tempted to take one more look
It will jam you up so tight
There are days and there are days
When the music just won't start
And it's in those moments of deep despair
When I feel so far apart
Take this time for self reflection
To make some progress here
If the words won't come on to the page
They never ever will appear
I've seen too much to take much notice
So I'll ignore it this time around
And sit this dance out and watch awhile
As the rest go 'round and 'round...
