Crystal View

Sometimes reality is twisted
And then the world doesn't turn
I wake up from a dream
To a nightmare on re-run
I walk around in circles
With my head stuck in the sand
Another day, another night
A little shaking of the hand
Contemplation turned to sorrow
The light is dim and pale
As comfy as my blanket
I cast into the thinking well
The water's dark and deep
It is cold with bitter taste
A candle vigil I will keep
Calling angles to my haste
Whatever else I ponder
Whatever else I view
My heart proceeds with wonder
As I'm searching for the truth
I imagine that existence
Is in loving life or death
To chase one or the other
Is all that there is left
My bookcase now is empty
I turn the page to something new
Standing in a house of mirrors
Looking for a better view
I need to brake the image
I want to bust through glass
There must be something real
Something built to last
The fascination pulls me
I'm standing on the line
Keep losing my balance
Running out of time
I could stay at the bottom
Scratch each day upon the wall
My days would be few
On my face as I crawl
I pray it never happens
That I have to fall so far
That I must be on my back
Just to see the morning star
Sometimes living is dying
And in between there is pain
But I can't start living
Until I'm out of the grave
With my gaze on the heavens
Across the distance, away
The long road ahead
A dream of better days
I just want to stand
At the top of the hill
To look down in the valley
Where waters run still
A feeling of sunlight
Soft on my face
The love of another
A kind, warm embrace
This is the dream
That fuels my desire
It pushes me forward
And makes me climb higher
No, I don't fear the falling
It happens all the time
As I follow my calling
I must keep on trying
