My life is a mess my blood runs cold
Hiding in the dark as I shall now be bold
Music playing loud in the corner, yet I can't hear
Solitude surrounds me, like an icy blast of fear
The darkness engulfs me, like a velvet cloak
Misty fumes fill my throat, as I start to choke
I feel the breath being dragged from my soul
As the shadows grip and take a hold
Where is the sun that shines so bright
Did the dimness snatch it through the light
Where is the moon and the stars illuminating
The laughter now false and humiliating
The wine red like blood pouring into the glass
Life now seems nothing but a hilarious farce
Time and tide what they were ever to me
Never understood nor wanting to see
The show is over as the choir sings
Audience stands in applauding ovation
As the cast bows, the heavy curtain falls
Suddenly I understand my true vocation
As I tap the words appear in unison
On the page virginal and starkly white
Life would be so easy if I could plan the detail
And simply decide with the lines that I write
