Mine became a life of chaos Lived on the edge of a knife Balanced for eternity Caught between death and life In the end the fear of living Burned me to the very core Without my anaesthetic I knew I could take no more There was no fight left in me I had no heart that I could give I had no way of surviving It cost me too much to live Into a well of silence I breathed a desperate prayer Uncertain of an answer Or who might be out there As I listened in confusion The solution came to me Live a life of honesty The truth could set me free So I stepped in the future I discovered my true worth And after the death of winter Came spring my season of rebirth

No Dues or Fees
Mine became a life of chaos Lived on the edge of a knife Balanced for eternity Caught between death and life In the end the fear of living Burned me to the very core Without my anaesthetic I knew I could take no more There was no fight left in me I had no heart that I could give I had no way of surviving It cost me too much to live Into a well of silence I breathed a desperate prayer Uncertain of an answer Or who might be out there As I listened in confusion The solution came to me Live a life of honesty The truth could set me free So I stepped in the future I discovered my true worth And after the death of winter Came spring my season of rebirth
Last of the seasonal quartet about life; depression and addiction
