Nonsense
Neurosis
Mislead all along from start to end
What creates this riddance of guilt ?
A little here, none over there
What more is said ?
The door is shut from the inside
But who's inside the door ?
New time, wrong place, wrong face
To get over there
Forever spinning in faith
Unload, leave, state the law
Expect the rest
Stumbling down to grovel with the rest of us
Another life lost
Just wanted to be
Not too much
Fall off the top and splash when you fall
Eating the beaten path
Taught the ways of self-destruction
Questioning to the last
