Stars In My Hell
STARS IN MY HELL-
Only the weak hide their scars,
I want you to scar me,
In your greater challenge,
I want to erase myself in your tired cry.
I want to be welcomed to the chorus,
To step out of my dream,
Crowded and lonely like my thoughts,
The sky is my weakness.
Away from protection,
There is a desperate calm.
How do you know,
What do you know,
When you know there’s nothing.
The wrong end of a sand glass,
All born in different universes,
But the same mind,
Born over and over again.
To me it came as a surprisee,
That on pillow I lay alone,
My fight lay beside me,
My thoughts were so tough on me.
Yet they released an immense innocence,
That I never needed to be lost,
Looking out at everything as myself,
Looking after the rain in my mind.
