everyone holding their breath
wondering if the pain subsided
if you left it all behind.

Silly isn`t it the masks
we wear trying fit right-in
stand before your conscious mirror
asking yourself the coming questions
to see how you react.

Fool them all for just a minute
a minute is all you will give
glass eyes stare back in the mirror
but you haven`t stopped the bleeding yet.

Here you are on easy street
you think you could settle right-down
another`s presence, more doors unbolting
keep you on the edge of your chair.
Murky waters, won`t stir quite clear
the past and present survive.
All your riches have kept you starving,
trying to get to the light...Lane
