I sit back here hiding within the shadows
watching all the earth and life around me
moving into disaster and strife
My eyes welding into balls of tears
as my own life battle crumbles to the ground
over and around my own feet
Falling like ash from a fireworks display
I sit silent and watch as everything I ever loved, despised, admired
crashes like a burning plain and fails or dies
My heart hurting and burning within
as my own life on the line is drawing thin
my spirit wounded from all the falling debre
my body scared and bruised of what is left of me
All those around who i trusted and had faith
have stumbled and failed
like mice running around a clock, running in place
My heart beat slowing it’s pace
as it has begun to claim my life with
a sight of nothing left for me to see and face
all my own life being taken away from me as well
If I could sell
I would indeed
yet that would not solve one thing
so what for
All I have ever lived and breathed for
has been spilled and washed right out the door
what’s left for me
you’ve taken it all away
Life is nothing if you can’t climb and make the way
so i open my wings to fly away
walking out of my messed up life
Leaving a destroyed love, earth, spirit, body,
Leaving it all behind
I’m not gonna sit back and watch me die with all the rest who did
that won’t be me standing in that line
They want to…
let them decide
nothing amazing, always lies
I’m gonna cover over my eyes to run and hide
I’m not gonna be next in that long long list of lines
I’m not gonna sit back and watch me die
