In Between

In Between By Kevin Robey March 7, 2013 Bite my lip, to get through the pain Might as well, I guess it’s all the same Today or tomorrow, results are consistent And here I was, hoping to feel different It’s days like today, I think of the final solution But when I speak of this, you call it noise pollution Days like today I wonder, what waits for us at the end? I fear thoughts like these, will soon become a trend I think of life, on those final days Where resolve unravels and frays I hope you’ll find a way to forgive me When I finally fulfill that final fantasy With eyes closed shut you cry, but I smile No regrets, already went that extra mile Let’s speak of the fear, no longer reigns Filed it away, the true source of my pain Now I’m free of this all consuming plague Sorry if I seem more than a little vague Am I dead or finally coming alive My cold body seemingly defies There was no fixing this heart of stone Now it seems I’m no longer alone Still I try to deny my rhythm song Am I fighting, or just playing along? My head’s in the space that lies between The happiness and the terror unseen You billowed my sails, away from that stormy cove Where I held the wheel, but was demons that drove This took a quick and drastic turn I know But I hurt more than words could show Now that I’m lifted out of that haze It all seemed like such just a phase In and out of that menacing quall There’s some fight left in me after all I leave the bones of demons behind When up ahead, there’s more that I find But what gets me through with a smile Is to hold your hand, let it stay a while You have your own battles to fight We fight them together, this is our plight It’s a bittersweet, nothing left but memories You speak of my smile, truly a sight to see But it’s not my smile, it’s actually yours You hide it so well, but I asked for more So we ditched the standard grins we use for pictures And found honest ones, to become our fixtures You found me, turned this sad song into a happy one I know in my heart, this is a sign of things to come
