verge of insanity

I'm waiting,

On the verge of insanity,

Like the trains left,

And I'm stuck with me.

When all else fails, I stare into that space,

The little girl who was out of the race,

Guess I was never cut for the chase.

Musical drums,

Inside me deep,

And you used to count the beats.

What do I do when life stops,

When you keep on running,

And can't ever stop?

When the pain is big,

And oh so hard,

When your mask falls off,

And you lose your guard?

What then,

What then,

What then?

How can I rise from ashes,

That never burnt through coal?

How can I muster strength,

When I was never whole?

The tears they don’t forgive,

They don’t forget,

The pieces of my heart,

That have left.
