Walking The Fence

It’s become too much

The glass is full

 

What do you do?

When your heart isn’t were it belongs

When your feelings are no longer as strong

When you know your lies won’t last long

When you think your ok but couldn’t more wrong

 

With every drop I’m over flowing

Under its weight I’m drowning

 

What do you do?

When you feel you can’t go on

When the past is far from being gone

When you must let go to the brightest of dawns

When your painting isn’t what you’ve drawn

 

Can’t keep pretending, can’t go on

When all your is right is my wrong

 

I don’t want to let this all go

It’s the path I want to follow

But my denial is cutting me from bellow

I can’t hide from the secrets lurking in my shadow

As if the pain wasn’t enough to swallow

The truth will bring her to sorrow

All of this with no guaranty of a brighter tomorrow

 

Wrapped in confusion

Why can’t I resist change?

My head is spinning, it’s so insane

 

My heart craves the impossible

Makes my attempted happiness crumble

Until its needs fulfilled I’ll be unstable

Forever it’ll make me peruse the unattainable

 

What goes up must come down

Nothing stays buried forever

Everything changes but stays the same

It’s just the circle of life

You can fight but your only fighting yourself

 

So I’m walking on a fence knowing

Whatever side I fall on I will be hurt

May as well face the pain now

Before I get pushed to the ground
