Running With Scissors
I'm running with scissors throwing caution to the wind
jumping the fences that used to rein me in
be damned what they think; or think that they know
I'm not quite finished nor is it time for you to go
I'm sliding down the banister of the stairs that lead up
and I am still thirsty for what runs over my cup
it's not really a mountain breeze, more like a hurricane
the thunder still crashes and there's lightning just the same
we've come this far with still more paths to travel
held together with glue so we don't come unraveled
I don't think we're even close to being done
another night passes and up comes the sun
