Flying Low

Trying to be greater then life

Leaving all I had behind me

Leaving friends in the dust to make new ones

But eventually ill go unnoticed

 

Living behind a glass wall

Can see all I want but can get there

Fall back in pain, trying to crash through

On my feet again with no lesson learned

 

Trying to forget problems I had

Creating more problems as a result

More to forget, more to deal with

One problem became a life of problems

 

Digging a hole of denial

Were lies are my shovel

And only the truth can be my latter

Deeper, I’m going to where I belong

 

Living behind a glass wall

Can see all I want but can get there

Fall back in pain, trying to crash through

On my feet again with no lesson learned

 

Suicide, drugs, alcohol not the answer

The answer is just beyond my fingers

In my eyes I see it all have it but me

For it is love of another one

 

Every one has someone but me

Is it because I try to hard

No it can’t be I gave up too much

Maybe that’s the problem

 

Have I given up all for nothing?

All that was for the nothing that is

Looked down to many

As they were looking down to me

 

Living behind a glass wall

Can see all I want but can’t get there

Fall back in pain, trying to crash through

On my feet again with a lesson learned

……

This time I venture a look behind me and I see all that I ever needed
