Soul and mind intertwined

[rhymarhyma]

I walk amongst the living giving everything I've got
I offer wounded words of wisdom, scars from every battle fought
I had forgotten what it meant to live a life spent free
The darkness said it was my friend but in the end it was my enemy

Fight or flight?...alright, we get rowdy and fight
but in life, hold tight...it's really all about the light
The night used to frighten me, the sun never shone
Breaking hearts, breaking bone...cold, broken and alone
The tone of my atonement whispers softly to my soul
which can be written and read and unrolled like a scroll
If I told you I got you, even reached out and caught you
and you turned away someday don't ever think I forgot you
because I brought you my past, fast-forward to today
Bought and paid for to make the darkness go away
If you knew me yesterday then you never truly knew me
You maybe knew of me, but you were looking right through me
A vapor, a mist...but history will not rewind
If you think my body's scarred then you should see my mind
and yet I find a kind of freedom as tears flow from the pen
where I was born, then died, then was born again
I'm certainly not pushy, I'm just pushing up daisies
and I'm only passing through and living life with you crazies
because maybe, just maybe, I'm as crazy as you
but all metaphors aside, I hope you know my love is true...
