Metaphoric knife...

Metaphoric knife...

A storm sweeps through my mind

deafening me, devil trying to distract 

drag me from the garden of serenity I've found

Inside there's a thousand words whirling, high speed

words if you could hear, would cut your blissful perception of memories to shreds

they be the metaphoric knife I would plunge through your heart...

hear the fabric of illusion tear, like my innocence did

I cannot do it, I cannot be so hateful

I see I'm not the victim anymore

I see you haven't walked away scar free

yeah, I see how much you've been harmed

in other ways...

everyone's gone, you're pretty much alone

and while you're continually cleaning up the shit storm of chaos, I see nothing has changed, despite time slipped by 

while so much has changed in my life

I see clearly now, you can't give me the closure I seek (that's between God & me)
