I cannot complain
Nor can I explain those situations
Relations that all turned to dust.

Trust is the thing that was so sadly lacking
No backing from my peers
And the years they have passed.
(did you ever notice that the echoes go last?)

So in pain..though quite sane..I listen
Eyes glisten
In the tears on my cheek I seek peace
A release.

Now I'm alone I zone into that crowd
That crowd so loud in my ears
And yesterday sears into my soul.
The black hole that nears holds no fears for me
It's just the gateway
And he...will be waiting..then as I state my case..
..blame the whole human race
After all of the summing
Will I be allowed to come in?
Or will I be locked out?

I cannot pretend to defend my inaction or actions
To retract..not a fact that will sell
Am I going to heaven or hell?
God Knows.
'til then I go where the winds blow
And on the last show..
..Revelations.
