This is the crises I knew had to come

Destroying the balance

I'd kept

Doubting and settling and turning around

Wondering what will come next



Is this the role that you wanted to live

I was foolish to ask for so much

Without the protection and infancy's guard

It all falls apart at the first touch



Watching the reel as it comes to a close

Brutally taking its time

People who change for no reason at all

It's happening all of the time



Can I go on with this train of defense

Disturbing and purging my mind

I count up my duties -

when all's said and done

I know that I'll lose every time



Moving along in our God given ways

Safety is sat by the fire

Sanctuary from these feverish smiles

Left with a mark on the door



Is this the gift that I wanted to give

Forgive and forget's

what they teach

I'll pass through the deserts and waste -

lands once more

And watch as they drop by the beach



This is a crises I knew had to come

Destroying the balance I'd kept

Turning around to the next set of lies

Wondering what will come next
