observation from the inside (thoughts)
If you live your life in a box,
it really doesn’t matter
how pretty it is on the outside.
If you live your life in a box,
it really doesn’t matter
how pretty it is on the outside.
Though starkly intimidated
perhaps overly concerned
with what others think
still I reach out to you
Creativity in search of comfort
This skin
my mask
behind it
inside
I hide from the world
I hide from you
never showing
all that I feel
never showing
how deep
Many seem content to walk
when they are made to fly
And though I walked among them
my dreams were in the sky
Thoughtless words can often hurt
and even bring a tear
to the eye of one we love
a heart that we hold dear
When it’s there to plainly see,
the sin in someone’s life,
am I first to cast a stone,
or will I carve the line?
The view from here is quite a sight.
I grip in fear, as knuckles go white.
Not letting go, I hold too tight.
Afraid I’ll fall from this dizzying height.
If I open up and share
all my struggles, all my shame
Will it reach the others
giving hope, replacing pain?
Just another busy day
I miss my time with you
Look, now it’s getting late
but still so much to do
If I am going to do this
I will have to give it my all
No holding back
No holding back
It is time to bear my soul
Time to open up and take a chance
‘cause without truth there can be no love
No real love
