I've been down this road both ways
taking in the sights
wondering why I fight
so hard to live some days
Like raindrops fall on to the dust
and ripple in that way
I find it hard to say
though I know I must
There's a sadness in the mountains
that sit outside my window
there's a madness in my mind
that it just can't contain
there's static all around me
it beckons from my window
takes every ounce inside of me
not to crumble from the pain
All day a war was fought
by the clouds and sun above me
fighting for the darkness,
fighting for the light
every day's a battle
a churning sea within me
one minute black
and then a blinding white
Everything around me is so deep and dark and living
even in this pain,
that I comprehend,
to fight and bleed my soul each day
is worth it to be living
it just makes love that's good
better in the end.
