A WORLD APART

A WORLD APART
A LIFE OF SHAME
FOR IT IS NO SECRET
WHO IS TO BLAME

BAD CHOICES COME EASY
WHEN THOUGHT IS MISPLACED
IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE
A STEP BACK IN THE RACE

DISAPPOINTMENT SETS IN
WITH A MESS IN SIGHT
BUT NOT ALWAYS EASY
TURNING WRONG TO RITE

A STAIN IN THE SOUL
A TEAR IN THE HEART
A HOPE AND A WISH
IS JUST THE START

APOLOGIES UNWORTHY
YET YOU KNOW YOUR AT FAULT
WITH A HEAVY CONSCIENCE
UNDER CONSTANT ASSAULT

A BRUISED EGO IS CLEAR
A SMILE IS LOST
DON'T BOTHER LOOKING
AS IT'S PART OF THE COST

CONFUSION TAKES OVER
AS THE DAMAGE ADDS UP
BROKEN UP FEELINGS
WITH HANDS TO CUP

WITH UNWANTED TEARS
TOO WIPE AWAY FAST
THOUGH YOU KNOW IN YOUR HEART
THEY WON'T BE THE LAST

LONELY SET'S IN
WITH NO ONE AROUND
TALK TO YOURSELF
JUST FOR A SOUND

BUT A DEMON TAKES OVER
A STERN VOICE IN THE HEAD
HE PUSHES THE POINT
AS HE WANTS YOU DEAD

A MOMENT STANDS STILL
FROZEN WITH FEAR
ALL HE KEEPS SAYING
IS YOUR DEATH IS NEAR

AN IMAGE OF ESCAPE
DRIFTS OVER THE MIND
SO MANY REASONS
TO LEAVE IT ALL BEHIND

A TIRED MIND
IN A FOREVER SLEEP
NOT A GOOD THOUGHT
WHEN LIFE'S IN A HEAP

THEN FEAR SETS IN
THE WORST OF THEM ALL
SCARED OF YOURSELF
AS YOU KNOW IT'S YOUR CALL.
