You thrust as hard as you could
Right down onto my shoulders
I could not carry it all
My knees buckle underneath
Take some off
And let me stand straight
So we can see eye to eye
Do not put me beneath you
I am not less
Maybe I am even more
But that remains to be seen
I hold it all right
And up real high
You kick me hard
To knock me down
When the pain is greatest
You come back to laugh
And see what you did
I let your ghost
Fade into the background
I walk away
Releaved of the weight
That sat upon my shoulders
For all too long
And I let you play
That sweet music of mine
And I let you run
In the twisted mind of mine
To see what makes me tick
And tock to keep moving
I shake my head
To try and shake you loose
Yet you hold on tight
And wont leave my mind
I want you out, now
Please, before it is the end
We all fight for a reason
To do what we all must
One cannot argue against it
Or even pull me through
You broke through my outer-shell
To see what was outside
I let you roam free
And taste the pleasentries of life
You would not go back
After the time had passed
I fought you there
In my mind of so long ago
The battle was great
And the casualty off the scale
Yet I still cant win
To banish you for good
My mind lays tattered and ruined
Broken into pieces
One day, I shall overcome you, friend
And finally throw you out
I shall achieve the piece of mind
Of which Ive sought
For longer than I can say
I will lose you there
On that very hill
Of which you were born by blood
And fed with hate and fear
You will be gone, sir
And I will no longer be us
But what will be left there
Is there same one as before
Just me, myself, and I.
