CIRCLE OF LIFE (NEVER RELENTING).
I’m not angry, I’m shaking with rage
I’m not tired, I’m fed up with it all
The heat in my head and the beat in my heart
Both tell me its time to rest
And I am just a petrified fool
A notion, a science misunderstood
Crying for air I couldn’t breath
Watching for a sign never to come
After all, that’s why I’m here.
So here is the anguish I leave to you
Is it real the fear we feel
Or was it the gift of ones we hate
That plan our lives and make us want
For a time that never comes
Always hoping the light to shine
Receding the distance to make us blind
It closes another chapter
Yet opens one more door.
I am the cliff edge hanging on
Fingers bared to the bone
Afraid this fair life is not my own
I crowd the day with hopes not fears
Worried I might become one of them.
Sad is the reflection on frosted pain
In summers heat I write my name
With quicksilver dashes it is born
Coated in gold never to be worn.
(then) Here in the sandpit I bury my head
Tempered by the steel embedded in my back
What do you say you little fool
Did you think only you were cruel?
I am the demon I will taste blood
I am the poor man taking your crud
Tired I ask when will it stop
Never the reply, never reach the top.
