Why must I feel like today?

I take a moment to myself, so I can hear myself

To feel myself, be real myself

Life's addictions and afflictions cause abrasion from the fiction

Sometime it's easier to live in fiction

I can run but I can't hide from the pains that reside down deep inside

There is no pill that can be swallowed

There is no guru that can be followed

There is no escape from my own history

Those that are hurt and those that hurt me

I was dead for a million years before I was born

I'll be dead for a million years after I'm gone

So I live to give something that can live on
