The Other Side

 
Let’s go to where no one ever goes
… and where no one ever leaves…?
Hold that thought
I’ll rummage, until I have the pills….
We can play for hours
Just you and me
Somewhere to stash our secrets
Over…
Over on the other side
A parallel existence
The wildest of wildernesses

Desolation lies in wait
Threatening to wreck our fragile wings
Leaving us stranded
Unable to return
Our lives motionless
Mesmerised, held…
In silence as the truth crumbles around us
This trip may well cease
The body might fail

Our foundations too, could suffer similar fate
We will still see home
But it’ll be far too late
This journey, out of control
Each step will seem irrational
Not the time to say I told you so

Fear of the unknown seems purely traditional
A belief upheld by the institutional
Eternal conscious torment
A stick to beat us with repeatedly
It’s how we’re kept in line
Keep your nose clean, you’ll be just fine

Find me crushed on the rocks
Scattered far and wide
Lost for something to say
All played out
Nothing now, except endless spray
Wave after wave
Undoing the past
Removing me from the hour glass
To leave me abandoned
Transferred forever
With no parole
Never ever
