Never Can Go Back

Dark places we've gone
Rays of light have beamed
Hands trembling, sweating, shaking
Mind spinning and judging
Smooth surfaces to glide
No such thing as serenity
The looks we've exchanged
With the wave of our skin
Beauty can be born

Possibility is deadly
Complications never end
The ripples of peace are painful
Expectancy of danger
Stopping to take a breath
But wait
No breath to take
Suffocation around every corner
Curves and edges
What's the difference?
Both scary and shameful
Never can go back now

Smiles up and down
But your eyes are despondent
Cannot wait for the day you return
Fate is true
No other reason to have met you
You mean the world to us all
Not just me but that one
She could never disregard you
Like that sign we should have seen
Bright and bold
Her regard is important to you
I put it off with disdain
How could you believe it?


Possibility is deadly
Complications never end
The ripples of peace are painful
Expectancy of danger
Stopping to take a breath
But wait
No breath to take
Suffocation around every corner
Curves and edges
What's the difference?
Both scary and shameful
Never can go back now

Pounding on the ground runs our feet
Away from the truth we run
Operation in my head
Working on the rejection
How to let it go
Never want to admit the pain
Too much misery in this zone
Nothing is safe
Hate and truth and love and faith
Nothing can come true in a space of grime
The impurity of us
Tormenting me
Torturous delay
I can't get out of this pit

Crawling along
The wait is agonizing
How did I do it before?
It was never this bad
This is the worst of all
You don't mind
You're in no hurry
Don't worry
The depths are familiar to me


Possibility is deadly
Complications never end
The ripples of peace are painful
Expectancy of danger
Stopping to take a breath
But wait
No breath to take
Suffocation around every corner
Curves and edges
What's the difference?
Both scary and shameful
Never can go back now

The wait is over
The end is near
No more going back now
We never can go back now
