AS WELL AS DEEP COLORS FADE
MY MIND SHUFFLES DOWN THE HALLWAY TO NOWHERE
FEELINGS LIKE BEING CONFINED TO BED OF THORNS
GROW WITH ADDITIONAL STING
LIVE TO THE FULLEST NOW AND SUFFER AFTER
OR YOU CAN SUFFER NOW AND LIVE TO THE FULLEST
THEREAFTER
THE RESULT IS ALWAYS THE SAME
EVENTUALLY IT CATCHES UP WITH YOU ANYWAY
YOU THINK OF THE OPPOSITE
THE
PAIR OF
SCALES ARE VERY
TRICKY
WHERE WILL THEY DIVERT TO
WHERE WILL THEY AGGRAVATE
YOU‘RE SLOWLY CRAWLING UP
AND FALLING QUICKLY BACK DOWN
AGAIN
