Inversion

Throw a fire in the pit and watch him sink or swim
An endless maze to be okay with glory at the end
Take him out and let him rest or forget how to live
His idle hands will trick his mind to create that hell again
When today is not enough he’ll seek for more to gain
An extra job— a compromise
Til one day you’ll be sane
Here’s your passkey for your path
Right from where you came
The part of you that wanted more
Now is not the same
What is hope if not a loss
Of what should simply be — safe and sound inside your home
With everything you need
When you’re lost you search again
To find your way back when
To a time you didn’t know
You’d want to feel again
Change will come to those who wait
And be brought to who can claim it
The life you want is just ahead
After you forget it
Your dreams arrive after a point
You no longer even want them
Heaven is a step away
Once it’s been forgotten
Change will come to those who wait
And be brought to who can claim it
The life you want is just ahead
After you forget it
Your dreams arrive after a point
You no longer even want them
