And Always...

You've been bedding with the down and below
 On your toes peering out of the hole
 The void offers sweet release
 And always the thought of defeat it has lessened you
 Mortar and bricks have cut off your air
 And always the fire that burns deep and down within you
 Has left you so afraid of love
 The things you don't say have weighed without wait
 Impatient and persistent, not fleeting, not for a moment
 When it seems like all you're made to do is suffer
 You'll be pleased to know that miracles do occur
 You never chose this
 This place you don't fit
 You're just misplaced
 A pet with no trick
 A wreck
 Broken in need of a fix
 And always the feeling of failure has trailed you
 Nothing you've tried keeps the vultures at bay
 So restless and weary, you desperately struggle
 But it's all to no avail
 The mirror of mirth lies shattered in pieces
 So long to the image, now you'll never see it
 And the leaden ball that's been chained to your ankle
 Has kept you running in circles
 You never chose this
 This place you don't fit
 You're just misplaced
 A pet with no trick
 A wreck
 Broken in need of a fix
 How numb have you become?
 Now that you've lost all connection
 Your bottle's filled up to the brim
 Who will be left to clean the spill?
 And when your breaking point pierces the surface tension
 You're sure to overflow all at once
 And see how brittle becomes you
 And there is no escaping this
 All of the memories haunt your flesh
 There is no trace of the events
 Only the ones you recollect
 Relax and arrest the arrhythmia within your chest
 The bells toll not for your atonement
 And you can't make them stop
 And always the thought of defeat it has lessened you
 Mortar and bricks have cut off your air
 And always the fire that burns deep and down within you
 Has left you so afraid of love
 And the things you don't say have weighed without wait
 Impatient and persistent, not fleeting, not for a moment
 When it seems like all you're made to do is suffer
 You'll be pleased to know that miracles do occur
