Dichotomy

S. L. G. H.

I can't keep hiding...

I can't keep running, and being afraid.

I can't let my demons consume me, and I can't run from change.

The chaos that runs in my mind is of calculated design, and that's fine.

That's fine because I won't let it tell me to die.

When I die, it'll be when I'm old, and I'll smile.

I'll smile because I'll know that I made it.

Close your eyes, and let the music flow, try not to cry

'cause that feeds the demons down below.

Hold your head up high, and take on your name, you've opened brand new eyes to see a brighter day.

Don't stop, just let it flow. Just pause, let the poison go from your mind, Take up your brand new life.

In a war trapped in insanity, there's a light there that lets us breathe, and it's fine, we're alive, and taking on the night.

New skin, new eyes, and it's finally time to breathe,

Stitchin' up the seams that used to gleam. with. pain.

It is enough, to be scarred, and smile, and let the wounds heal.
