Denial

The bars of your cage are of your own doing
You trap yourself without knowing
Or do you?
Some like the comforts of our own confines
The ideas you wish were right in your mind
But aren't true
No need to feel stripped when reality is conflicted
When the ideas you trusted, never existed
You follow?
The empty thoughts protected your world
Of candy cane, gum drops and sugary swirls
But everything is still hollow
We are all exposed, but you stand there naked
Surrounded by illusions that leave loneliness negated
Understand?
Time to find the key to unlock your fate
Time to live your life before it's too late
Before you're washed away like a grain of sand..

Where did I go?

11/03/05 - 01/13/08

We're here and we've reached a new plateau
Every thing's spinning and I don't know where to go
Not liking all the stuff I think I know
Still searching for an escape
But from a different anguish
Trying to pick up the pace
But don't know if I can stand this
Trying to recapture that drive
But not wanting to go back
To the depths I had to dive
To finally get on track

The drugs are getting old
And the alcohol now burns
But I still self medicate
Oh when will I learn
Figuring how to figure out
What the hell I'm all about
My tank is on empty
But I don't wanna stop
This car's given me plenty
Time to take it to the shop
