Through The Crack

jamainiac

After being locked in the darkness
Away from the elements and sensations, in my own little world
You wander in and flash a brilliant show
of what lies just beyond my door, on the other side
Slowly I follow you, back to the land of the living
Filled with all its beautiful sights and sounds

*Too much time on my own
Tucked away from reality
I've tried your world before and gotten burned
It seems much safer to hide
I see you through the crack in my dusty window
and wonder if I'll ever learn how to make it
on your side*

Having it all flood back at once is just too much for me
I know I should wade in the shallow
but I want to plunge into the deep
I need you to show you all I've been hiding
I need your blue ocean to wash away the pain
I don't know how to create a new world
how to paint new memories
One stroke at a time, living day to day
I need you to create a new picture for me
Something in your world I can call my own
to keep me from running away

*

Show me how to live in your world
how to slowly sip from your cup
Instead of taking it in all too quickly
finding myself lost and drunk
Staggering back to my little doorway
that takes the crooked key
Back behind my dusty window
where I watch you through the crack in my world
but you never see me

I really like this one alot. I understand it and can relate to it in alot of ways. Sometimes the unknown can be scarey especially if you've been burned before. There are so many endless possibilities outside your door though...it's a temptation indeed.
