    It's now or never make your move
    Your history reveals uncertainty
    Lacking vertebrae to be a man

    Can't you see you affect us all?
    You seem so down, down so low
    Yet you judge from so high up

    Realism is just another way to say
    Your a pessimist who can see
    But we all know the world sucks

    Now get up off the ground and look
    Close your eyes to the obvious
    With closed eyes can you see more?

    Can you not dream?
    Can you not breathe?

    It's not too late but you refuse
    stubborness is your ball and chain
    Dragged you so far down the hole

    Can you not think?
    Can you not live?

    So you say today is your last
    Your taking the next train out
    Cold and sharp slicing through

    Tunnels within my mind, it hurts
    I can't bear to see you leave
    But if you insist I won't stop you

    And as you fall from grace
    Your mind is so much clearer
    You thought you figured it out

    Welcome home. It's been so long.
    But the house is different
    A darker shade of what you remember

    ....................................


    You've crossed the line
    No chance to return
    You've made your choice
    Traded a home for a house
    There's a difference
    You missed it
    Caught up within
    The present, no future?
    It may as well be yours
    You had it all
    You gave it all away
    I hope you get
    What you've always wanted
    Without Wax,

    What i like about this is how personal it is to ,me at least.

    i would maybe turn the last part into a different piece.
