My World

I am an Angel and a Demon, there is nothing in between I am your ageing shades of reason; just show me what I mean When I hold my breath I’m in a natural high If I hold it for too long the Angel starts to cry The Demon takes a hold and I can only fly If you hold me down, I’ll show you how you die I’m a liar in denial; I will take it to my grave If the truth will give me style, my path begins to pave But even if I crawl away Even if I hide away Even when I feel okay I know it’s here that I will stay I’ve heard that once you realise, you’re half way there But it’s half way that I stand, confused beyond my care With the Angel and the Demon beside me as I stare Their battleground is worn, but now they’ve learnt to share Chivalry comes from love and love is in our minds The ugly must repent whilst beauty is too blind Selfishness breeds lust and lust is all I find But this is in my mind Religion held us back since when it lost to hate By being afraid to die, you throw away the wait Forget all time, accept your fate But this is in my mind, this is in my eyes
