Living in the time capsule of my mind

Whatever solace I can find

Sweet songs reaching out from another place and time

Thinking of a time when you were mine,

Remembering when holidays were fun

Children laughing in the sun

You’re standing with your bathrobe undone

Shooting at fake outlaws with a pop gun,

Decorations on a sparkling Christmas tree

Little ones faces lit up with glee

Childhood’s fascinating mysteries

Just one more kiss Baby please,

Somehow my life passed me by

Her betrayal I can’t deny

Occasionally escapes a long hopeless sigh

So much damage can happen with a lie,

Pick yourself up or you’re a loser!

Beggars can’t be choosers

So many lovers are just users

Guilty without evidence by evil accusers,

This is how the world stands today

The poisonous shades of gray

You’ve made the very bed upon which you lay

Paving the road to hell the price you’ll pay,

Is justice ever really done?

I wonder now seeing the way the world is run

It’s little wonder why so many have succumbed

The weight of their guilt must weigh a ton.
