Parallel Corners

What is real and what is fantasy Are you who you are or what you want to be Your kind breeds conceit Fact and fiction conceived You don't know you only see Words not deeds A perceived perception or factual entity All you know is who I'm supposed to be Your kind breeds conceit Fact and fiction conceived You don't know you only see Words not deeds Adding more fuel to the lie that you fire I'm living the truth while you're projecting a liar

All this suffering yet I cannot feel it Words of consolation I bring to you I am torn by grief and sorrow For me there's no tomorrow Hiding under your shroud of security For your peace of mind I've lived and learned with gifts bestowed on me But I was left behind I reach for you but you're illusion Please excuse me for my intrusion Once hopeful but now just living Why must I be punished for giving Youth memories that once had sheltered me Kill me in the end Born to suffer live by standard die in despair Born to suffer again Who are your heroes? Where are the morals? Somewhere in limbo but surely not here Can't you see my misery maybe tomorrow I'll be all right Blasphemy and irony of a world on it's knees Reality's gain is my loss, until a change I will suffer

Cosmic pillars stand I'm my way Shooting stars soon fall Airtight blackness everywhere You cry and I'm appalled Vortex spins Without fear End of all Is drawing near Screaming shards rip into me Others I can't feel Lookin' 'round parallel corners Distorting what is real Hear your call In the night Right is wrong And wrong is right You talk in riddles I speak in rhyme But yet the sun that never sets still ceases to shine Reality fades in dreams of regret I cannot remember but will never forget The past is my present, the future's a lie These are words to live by

As I lay here my lifeblood is flowing Can you feel all of the pain I'm knowing Cannot understand but still I know feelings Your frightful existence has me reeling What importance do I hold for you Just a status symbol of the things you do You can rationalize your reasons You can twist the twisted truth To me that doesn't matter much I'm hanging by your views You cannot see the things I'd be Or hear what I've to say But you take it upon yourself To take my life away I can feel your pain I'm to lose and you're to gain The shape of things to come Destroyed by one Innocent and pure Selfish thoughts are all too sure Why must it end this way? Where's my say?

Life's so fast, got to make it last You've got to let your feelings show Don't have all the answers to cure life's cancer I've been around enough to know Life... another cross that we bear Hope... amidst the pain and despair Release your pain World's a mess, we've got to do our best Try and clot the world's wounds bleeding We've got to fight, hard is the path to right Winning's not worth it if it's easy Life... another cross that we bear Hope... amidst the pain and despair Release your pain I'm out in the world without a home I'm scared but not alone I don't know where to go But I know where I'm going It's got to be me and you With a little love we can make it through

Envisioned fear I dream of you My time is drawing near To bring me through Are you heaven sent? Or a messenger from hell? How can I tell? How can I tell? Sweetly smiling Or mocking jest Tenderly beguiling As I await my final breath This time I've crossed the line for good Won't go back even if I could Now I have all the answers But I can't tell

Looking at changes beyond my control with hesitation Setting in my life new goals - a liberation Making my way blindly through life I see what I can Sooner than later life takes its toll - a boy to a man Wait - I see a chance at the window Fate - mustn't always decide I'll follow through with or without you But I will be all right Starting over isn't easy It gets tougher every time, but to Live and learn without getting burned Is like not living at all

From the inside looking out Distorts what I'm about Strains from emptiness Change to bitterness You have turned me To what you thought I was I don't care now The past is now the past The scars inside don't heal The pain no more can I feel I'm callous, alone, but unafraid For better or worse I've changed Product of what you've taught You'll feel the things you thought The path I now lead Is wrath along with greed Represent what I resent You are all that I despise Feeding from what I've become Can't stop even if I tried Glory bound or the fool crown It's all just the same I thank you now you showed me how You've made my name
