I’ve had family and friends
They’ve come and gone and disappeared
Leaving blood and wounds behind
And a trail of nothingness
I think about where I would be right now
If I hadn’t taken the time to call
Where I’d be, would I be happy?
Going through all that misery
Looking on from the distance
It all seems so pointless
How can they even stand it?
Saying ignorance is bliss
They make us watch as the poison
Goes down their swollen throats
Isolated and whipped in cages
Bound in broken bones
What I’ve gone through and what I’ve seen
Was certainly no sunshine and green
I can never take the sleep pill again
Tie my hands and lose my toughened skin
Because without you
I have nothing but the scars on my back
From all the times I’ve been stabbed
Fogging my own mind against time
But with you
I’ve been taught to see the welts on my face
To fight head on against the shame
And keep powering through when it rains
And I…
I have slipped a many times
Fallen down and lost my line
And nearly gone broken my own spine
But you’re there when I reach out
Drenched in water pouring down
To take me back to the mountain
And try again
And for that I’m so grateful
And I write to show it too
Because I know my life was hollow
Before I was brought home to you
