Christ. It's all hitting the fan, isn't it?
To Me:
I don't know where my hands meet my actions, where my thoughts tame the mind. I'm feeling the deeper roots of those things that leave you without anything to say. I'm sure that your heart is my heart and even the wind and fire that rains from on High will not cause them to unbind. I want to smooth away the cracks in your concrete, but I don't know the ways. I want to chant the timeless rhythm of words to dull the edge, but I am feeling the sharpened blade tear my mouth apart. I'm left with nothing to do and I'm counting the days. I can't trust in fate, for He is a little late. I won't trust in God because They assure that my feet are shod with the gospel of peace. Lies, because I seem only to step in blood and tears. It frightens me to admit that salvation comes from those whose souls are oceans apart. And the rising tide confirms my fears. I can only affirm the power of self and selves even while wolves circle the pinnacles of our pentacles in this tangible hell.
To All of You:
Your scars cast shadows when you're dreaming
And time just won't heal your wounds
That hole inside you keeps on weeping
And you're feeling all alone
Then
Throw your arms around me
I'll be right here if you fall
I'll be right here if you need me
Be right here if you call
Me, my friend
If you need me, my friend
When there's no lies in the evenings
And there's no hope inside your heart
When all the things you ever dreamed of
Start to bleed and fall apart
Then
Throw your arms around me
I'll be right here if you fall
Right here if you need me
Right here if you call
Me, my friend
If you need me, my friend
If you feel you're slowly drowning
Under all these world's bad days
And you feel you're slipping under
from the weight of all your pain
Then
Throw your arms around me
I'll be right here if you fall
I'll be right here if you need me
Be right here if you call
Throw your arms around me
I'll be right here if you fall
In my arms, I'll carry you from here
My friend, I won't leave you down
No, my friend
My friend, I won't leave you down
No, my friend
My friend, I won't leave you down.
