unsure

i'm deep down in this well
standing eyehole high in shit
the dirt that covers up my arms
doesn't hurt, not even a little bit
the physical threat i can take
it's the mental pain that unglues me
i'm staring up at the empty sky
knowing this is not all i can be
but just right at this minute
i'm trying like heck to mend
the broken parts that'll make me whole
so i can start all over again.
i don't think i could ever forget you
and i don't think i'd want that anyway
but for every night that breeds sombre dreams
there follows a brand new day
the words you said to me
are locked inside my soul
and even the ones i never wanted to hear
are in there, wrapped like ribbons 'round the maypole
now if someone sees me smiling
or catches me in a frown
they'll not know how to approach me
or for now, whether i'm up or down.
