I've been pushed and I've been pulled I've been tricked and I've been fooled Through it all I have to say that I've been schooled I dropped out when I began to feel I was a rock in a sack full of jewels But when I got out into the real world I realized that may be the other way around Because it's a harsh and bitter place To try and find your own space
Some days you wake up feeling Punch-Drunk When I see the person in the mirror Staring at you ...swearing at you With the eyes of desperation so far back and sunkin in
But you swear like you do every one of these kind of mornings Never again ...never again will I touch that s*
Then you do just what any wounded soldier would do You shut down and lean back as you wait for the corpsman Throughout your body the world is stormin While the torrential rains run around the brain And the lightning keeps tightening the nerves along your spine As Thunder lays asunder those places Where so often one might find sanctuary As the wind come splintering in To tear loose any pieces neglected left unprotected that will later be gathered and then collected to be given to me as it and all things that I rejected everything to become a monument of my passing through... so.....
Someone needs to know Because too often that "never never " in the morning
Turns into "oh! It'll be alright" in the afternoon
And that's a sad sad song An old sad song no matter how much you update it's tune.. -
