Paradise
The razor cuts my heart.
The coldness shuts my eyes.
And silence is all I hear,
As winds of change arise.
'Live my life while total darkness
Holds me deep in its throes.
'Live my life the vision of a man
That no one really knows.
They see a painted picture,
Think they can peel the guise.
But they could never understand
What goes on behind these eyes.
For I see a world of many,
And I see a world of few.
But I couldn't love just anyone,
I had to love just you.
So as I walk the future,
And the past adieu;
Most everyplace, I see that face
But just walk right on through
Because I know my destiny
Might lie on wings of chance.
Still, when I stare in the mirror,
I see no backwards glance.
For I have a tunnel vision
That draws me toward a light
I'm not sure what I'll find there,
But I know I've paid the price.
Still I may never reach it,
And effort alone may not suffice.
But if I do, maybe it's true,
I'll find my paradise.
A land where there's no sorrow.
A land where there's no pain.
A land where there's no emptiness.
A land where there's no rain.
A place that's not a giant stage,
Where I just act out my part...
But a place where it won't hurt to dream,
Or rest an aching heart.

Thank you for stopping by Taryn. This particular torment never seems to pass from me. Not sure even death will relinquish it but that is my hope. :)
