There, there, it'll be fine... Is the lie that I tell myself to keep my Mind state sane safe and sedated Wait, it's just time playing tricks on us Your mind, I can fix it just let me at your heart I will free you from this prison it's the key to unlock your cell, your walking hell... I believe our talks can help More than the docs can tell. I know you're not so well But check your pocket, there's a locket that I gave to you Thirty years ago and remember I would say to you When we're very old let these photos show That you can peer into our very souls And know the only road we ever drove on was Paved with hope and growth and not Laced with broken stones and open holes But whether or not I stay, I know you cope alone Broken spokes on a bitter ride, a choke hold on a crippled mind As you blink your wide eyes to communicate Open close, live or die, almost like you're Symbolizing the simplified life you're doomed to hate All of a sudden, things slow down Time is up, my love, gotta go now But just as I go to bid my retreat Like the wind hitting the trees, you whisper to me and say... You don’t have to say a thing I can read the spaces between your words And you don’t ask for anything But I refuse to sit here, and watch as you get worse…

Our Only Out

There is no warmth Without you, in my world Hold on to me This is our only out… I’m sorry. Hop into the car and over to the hospital I'm walking through the halls and i stop to get a card But you'd probably only get more confused So i pour some booze to distort the truth And continue over to you, stop & stare at your rocking chair Wondering if they're giving you proper care when I'm not in here Slipping you a little help to slow your sorrow But what good is a cork to a broken bottle? But i will stay by your bedside As long as it takes, I'll wait for you this time Rest my dear broken record player Any hope left has been spoken in a prayer Just to cope with seeing you frozen in that chair Staring out the window with such little focus in your glare Got me choking up, when i approach and you get scared My only love, how could we be close for all those years Then grow old and open fears that i told you I would always keep you safe from Now I'm the one you want to stay away from
