One Heart - A Thousand Voices

04.08.83

Lying on the cold cement

Crimson

Flowing from my face

Men with no backbones

Trampling over my broken body

Now

There is no light

to lead me

I see only blackness

which envelopes me

and the darkness

which took me by the hand

and led me

through the night

I know it won't be long

you've grown cold

but you're holding on

It's not something you can hide

If you want to leave

So bad, you die

Why won't you only

Say good-bye?

I think I'm going crazy

Inside my head

Like a kaleidoscope

The colored glass

Is    S h A t T e R e D

How much more

Can I take

I don't think

You don't love me enough

For me to go through all this pain

Hurting myself

I'm not happy

I try to think more of you

It's not how you said it would be

I'm leaving

Shutting the door

To be by myself

In the cool, comforting darkness

Where nobody knows my name.

We travel

through the fantasy,

musing,

in a revery.

Until

the light blinds

the facade

of Ideality.

And now

our dreams are shattered

as reality

shines through,

things are never

as they seem,

and never

ever true.
