    Did I swim against the current or did it break me against the shore?
    Why did I forget to cry out to others and remember to sing inside myself?
    Blackened by the night and blinded by the day
    Drowning in a sea of sound or suffocating in a breath of silence
    I stagger on my feet until I fall upon my knees
    Hanging from the highest star or falling through the deepest abyss
    Loving the beast and hating beauty
    Under her thumb or over his head
    Guilty of everyone's innocence
    Fearing my own faith
    Creator of destruction or a destroyed creation
    Seeking out truth by looking in lies
    Hungry for life or full of death
    A thousand beginnings that never end
    Death is a dream when life is a nightmare
    So good at being evil and too wrong to ever be right
    Friendships betrayed and enemies trusted
    Frozen in heartache or burning with hate
    Tightly wound in discipline or running loose with insanity
    Tears of joy and bittersweet sorrow
    Blurred boundaries and solid spaces
    Mechanical knowledge of human ignorance
    Perpetual emotion in startling stillness
    Chain me to the Earth or sweep me to the sky
    Either way, find any way that leads to one way
    Begging to leave but indebted to remain
    With a soul shrouded in mystery and a body naked to the world
    Running around in this tireless wheel
    Fallen too far behind to rise on ahead
