Feels the pain…
Knows the story of times like these
When, we’ve used up all our choices
We’ve run out of friends to pretend to listen
To another of our one sided stories
About how we’ve always tried to do our best
But all we ever seem to get is done in
To find ourselves again, in a place
Where there’s no where left to hide
So we try run away from the sun
Only to find we’re branded by karma
We’ve tanned and singed our hides,
Trashed the last traces of the facade,
Of a successful course of life
Hurt by battles we may had have won
If we’d never gave up trying to be the one,
We’d wanted deep at heart to be
Now, look at us sick and tired of doing
What we wanted, to get …what seemed
We needed to succeed, only to find an empty feeling
Not enough to satisfy the need.
So here we are two hearts laying here
Needing a soul transfusion from one another
Bleeding as if we're dying,
Here in the universal healing ocean of life
Telling each other stories of our souls last ride
Suffering from a sickness
We can run from but never hide
Built upon all the lies
We’d sworn to and failed to do
In the balance of those
Who have suffered our indifference?
Who in truth, we’ve victimized
Next to all the tears we're crying...
If we want to believe with all our heart of mind
In giving back what’s due
Our conscience answering like a prayer
To preserve our mortal souls
Stinging our eyes, falling like rain
Looking back into to the stars of yesterday,
Still, it’s so hard to find the courage
To surrender our last will
Testify against the devil in ourselves
Unprepared to go under the knife, again
When it’s impossible to undo
The unforgiving deeds we’ve done
Taking life for granted
As if… it could be seen
With our last moments breath,
Amidst the ruins of our egos
Castles build on the shifting sands
Of our mortally wounded pride...
Feeling that burning sensation
In the tenderest part of our insides...
Just in time to look up to the sun
And see the all heart
Coming at us from a corner
Of the spiritual being we feel in need...
In these quiet tides of being,
Where we must answer
To the All Creator for whom we are...
At the most urgent moments in our lives,
Skinny dipping in the truth
With those who believe most as we do...
Drinking also, from the well of souls
We were drawn from,
Thirsting souls to forever deliver
Back to the one who knows?
Both where we come from,
And who we're
...destined
To become
