Amongst the crowds of moving feet I make my way inside
And all the while trying not to hinder precious lives
The push and pull of all their weight has brought me to my knees
It's here beneath the cloud of flesh I supplicate my needs
They're pouring out, become the sea of water for the drink
I'm holding on, I start to float, oh help me not to sink
Living words don't fail me now, I fear I've said too much  
But there are reasons I won't name that feelings cannot touch
So I will speak until I'm mute, if ever that should be
With seasoned tongue so full of salt to justify my plea
Hear me now or hear me not, the choice is always yours
My voice may crack but I believe I'm holding open doors
Come inside and stay with me, I welcome every soul
Let your body shed its skin and extricate the old
You are free, don't let them say that you are dead and gone
The place you've been for all this time is not where you belong

The fruits of what you planted here are rotting in my
mind
And every day I lock the doors and leave it all
behind
I'm looking for a fire that will **** the rancid
fume
But as for now I'll rectify in ink and through a
plume
Injustice reigns in all you do, oh planter of these
seeds
I've felt you water parts of me with hotly boiled
deeds
You've burned me more than I can say or memory can
claim
And how I can be of your flesh should drive me half
insane
Instead I balance what I know with what I've seen you
do
Let clarity prepare a way to purge what's left of
you
I'm almost there, I sense it now, the last I'll use this
key
For I have found the other room you tried to hide from
me
So take your place inside yourself and I will walk
away
And harbor neither hatred nor the curses you could
lay
I'm breathing now, I've filled my lungs with freshly seasoned
air
I'm entering with both feet in, a newly painted
lair

open eyes that cannot seem
to grasp their own reality -

I've been sifting through
fragmented parts of my
life and this puzzle
doesn't seem to make
sense

But I know time
cut the edges and
scaled them to size,
to fit in such a
way that nothing is
wasted

Thus bend and break
still as I might,
I can change only
the number of shapes
I'll sustain, piece by
piece

all of me has already been made
the whole picture remains unscathed
everything will be put to use here
