When Conscience Calls

I once thought I had it all, everything I’d ever need
Was right here at my feet
Maybe it’s a sign, a mirror of shining hope?
All the reflections in the water tell a different story
Could you walk a mile in my shoes?
Or cross the bridges that I’ve straggled along?
When the odds are stacked so high on you
would you have the strength to see it through?
Now is the time to read between the lines
To see out far in horizons beyond all God’s known glory.
Left with open wounds, it’s made a man out of me
The only calling to arms for me is the beckoning quest to defeat myself
Submission to my demons is a relief from the pain that you cause me
A shotgun to the back of the head is the only alternative (that I have)
Please don’t leave me with my mind
Won’t you save us from ourselves?
Denial hinders foundations to build
And when we’re incomplete, vital signs seem to fade away
The meaning to live, to breath has gone against all I have willed
Maybe it’s a sign, a mirror of shining hope?
All the reflections in the water tell a different story
They speak to me on levels far beyond unknown
But none have meaning, guess I’ll have to work it out alone
