I'm losing touch,
I'm losing grip,
So be careful baby,
Because I just might slip,
And I don't want you
To go down with me--
Leave me here,
To my own defenses,
To my own devices,
And I'll try to hang on,
Somehow.
This is just a precautionary measure,
Just something that needs to be done,
Not so much for my sake,
But for yours--
And don't you tell me that I don't know
What it is that I'm doing,
Because I know perfectly well,
No clever misdirections,
No self-induced delusions--
This simply has to happen,
So go on,
Get out of here.
I tell you that everything
Will end up OK,
But inside my heart,
I'm not so sure,
These whispering doubts
Are louder than any scream,
Darker than any Nightmare dream,
And I can't tell you how,
Or why,
Or when--
I only know what exists,
Breathes,
Bleds,
Sings,
Or sighs--
These are not simple times,
So don't be fooled
Into a Black and White world,
Because the Devil lives
In those rigid misconceptions--
Please, won't you open your eyes?
I'm stronger than I look,
But weaker than these words,
A constantly changing parody of Life,
And I'm asking you to understand,
I'm asking you to STOP--
And see what's really going on here,
'Cause I'm drowning in these words,
And choking on these explanations,
Won't you leave me here?
I need to know if I can save myself.
