The Broken Path to the Beginning

Let's take it slow, dear

Say words slow, dear

Tell me everything you're not

Show me everything you've got

I'll say it more

I'll sing it soft

Every single word you want to hear

Every sensation that I fear...

I feel for you



Take me up and away

To the places you stay

When you're gone

Feeling so low again

Tell me to stay

When you feel the pressure get to you

You hate doing what you have to do

Call... say nothing at all

Just whisper every word I can't hear



Why do you run...

When everything has started, begun

Like the crack of a gun, I'm undone

You're back where we started

I'm already gone, I can't reach you anymore

I can't feel you anymore

I can't taste you anymore

The race has begun

Against the time that it takes

For me to awake from this nightmare

I keep dreaming up



This crying and drowning

You knew I knew was never enough...



Take me up and away

To the places you stay

When you're gone

Feeling so low again

Tell me to stay

When you feel the pressure get to you

You hate doing what you have to do

Call... say nothing at all

Just whisper every word I can't hear



Whisper every word I can't hear

So I yell back in agony so clear

That you're all that I want

And you're all that I've got

And the pain that keeps me hanging here

Is everything I'm feeling, unclear



To touch your skin

Is a fantasy I'm still living in

That we'll come out of this better than before

I know I can't continue asking for more

Time is too fast

You're feelings won't last

We keep running in circles

Dancing in circles

Around and I am feeling so sick (and tired)...



When can we get back to the beginning...

Or at least the part that we left off?

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I'm...tired...to say the least. Maybe a little afraid.  Sorry if I always ask too much of you
