The Child Inside

To wait it out

on the jagged edges of November

I see it slipping by

the faith that once was by my side

Inside my mouth

I taste the lies drowned out by the thunder

in the pouring rain

my feet is drenched though my head is dry

Am I

walking in the absence

of a mind that speaks out loud

to wake the sleeping..

Child..inside of me

who laughs in spite of

all the tears that's shed by everybody else

he's smiling in the corner

to a world that sits and stares outside

When swallowed doubt,

leaves you choking on the moments that have passed

you discover that

he always seems to make it go away

It's deliberate

how eventually the only truth I greet each morning

is the only reason

thats keeps me safe in your dreams at night

Would I

walk around with the absence

of a mind that cannot speak out loud

to wake the sleeping..

Child..inside of me

who laughs in spite of

all the tears that's shed by everybody else

he's smiling in the corner

to a world that sits and stares outside

Pretty eyes that's looking through

the windows of an innocence inside a world

where you would find the grey of life in color

and the rising tide of cynical conscience

that washes all the nightmares from the darkness

that we've left inside

each time we hide behind our languished pride

if we would find ourselves there in the cold outside

where is the...

Child..inside of me

who laughs in spite of

all the tears that's shed by everybody else

he's smiling in the corner

to a world that sits and stares outside
