It's wasn't simple
Like closing your eyes
Or taking in air
No, it was never simple.
Not like swinging on the swings
Pretending you were flying,
Not like playing in the rain
Pretending you were a pirate
Life, isn't like that forever.
All it takes, is one rip
One wound
One heartache
To let in the monsters of life.
For the mind, it ticks
While the clock goes tock
Everything spins into one color
Red.
Red for the love
Red for the anger
Red for the pain
Reflections tell lies,
So loud and violent.
Telling you that you can't do this,
That this is the end.
So you've aged with the guilt
The guilt thick like tar
You've let it settle so deep
You no longer know who you are
Who are you?
What is it to them?
What need, what want, what tragic desire
Will take from you, to build them up?
So as it is, you want to scream
Scream.
Into the night, into the universe
Into the moment you felt the break.
Inside your heart
Inside your soul
Inside the light, you once adored
It's not simple.
It never is
Just sit tight, I'll find you soon
Find you,
To bring you back
To a time
That feels so simple
Back to a time
Where you are you,
And that's all you ever need.
