To Hide Away

Coming from that blood, sweat, and fear

What have I done with all those years?

What that means isn’t exactly clear

Can’t stand what I see in the mirror,

Mama you’ve been gone so long

Didn’t know I’d have to be this strong

Memories bring a bitter song

I no longer know where I belong,

Looking for a place to hide away

Oh the games my memories play

It’s like she came back yesterday

All she did was throw it all away,

Just try and sleep at night

Sooner or later give up the fight

Something tells me to take flight

Guess I was never quite that bright,

The defeats that come and go

You try not to suffer too many blows

The loss of trust just slowly grows

Sometimes they shouldn’t be disclosed,

Remembering your slender form

For which I had desire way beyond the norm

But it was just the thunder before the storm

The future became forlorn,

For what it’s worth I understand

Seems I’m on the wrong side of “No Man’s Land”

Just where should I make a stand?

Somebody give me a hand!

Coming from that blood, sweat, and fear

What have I done with all those years?

What that means isn’t exactly clear

Can’t stand what I see in the mirror.
