MEDLEY

Trembling and shaking
And out of control
The burn in my mind
A deafening pull

The sight of your visage
The feel of the day
Oh god in the heaven
Make this go away

The voices descending
A haunting retreat
The torment of legions
Repeat and Repeat

Oh pain strike the numbness
Oh Hell take me in
Oh turmoil receive me
Again and Again

I’m falling, I’m trying
I’m breathing, I die
A park bench, A skyscrape
A Mountain, and why

Deep lies in my eyes
Tell the orchid’s black tale
Each little reminder
Reminding I failed

How can they love me
Oh how can I run
How could I have done this
A whisper begun

Why do I feel this way
Why do I steal
A world gone all wrong
I can no longer deal

Four letters and pictures
Brief bout of control
The razorblade’s glare
Now reflects what was stole

The man in the mirror
Speaks out of his hate
The shards of glass scatter
Perhaps it’s too late

The weight of the world falls
A view from above
The window sill shows
The full depth of their love

A fall to this old room
A wonder of why
Don’t bother, don’t wait
Don’t trust and don’t try

Can I ever escape this
And finally be free
Just look to the silver…
And soon you will see
