You used to look at me -
and really look -
as if in those moments of clarity you found
something in me, something wonderful, something worth keeping.

I always wanted
to live up to those moments.

I still try; carefully,
knowing that at any moment you might change your mind.

It may have broke your heart,
But it broke my soul
And you of all people should know
Life shines bright with a broken heart
But a broken soul leaves you cold, in the dark.

A broken heart
still does it's job.
A broken soul
never ceases to throb.

The soul is best friends with the brain,
the engineer of the messenger train.
Constantly sending dreams to the mind,
Never leaving your worst memories behind.

So in bed at night you lay awake
Reliving that one man's fate.
Thinking about what your best friend went through,
Giving that broken soul to you.
Step into my mind.

To think, to do,
to say, to mean,
they're all completely different things.
The thought is confined,
wrapped around making the world right
but the simple truth is,
there will always be a fight.
Peace has no meaning
in a world of hate.
That's why the few that are nice
are remembered as great.
But they soon would break
just as did the rest,
and being nice
once again becomes a test.
It shouldn't be a test
and soon people will see
the dark and vicious truth
of what the world has come to be.
The treatment given to others
is not what they deserve.
And if I had the power
I'd rebuild the world, reversed.
Step into my mind.
