I WATCH YOU REBOUND

Oh I try to seize the day
Even got it written on my wall
Oh these walls that hold me back
My shuttered soul - making my eyes black

I see you crying by the riverside
I hear writing – fighting - trying
I feel your pain
Did I cause that?
I watch you rebound and rebuild

Empty stages of a butterfly mind
A train ride across country to a faraway find
Standing in the pouring rain your touch envelopes me
Holding hands in a no mans land
Can anyone see?

I see you crying by the riverside
I hear writing – fighting - trying
I feel your pain / Did I cause that?
I watch you rebound and rebuild

Feelings that are rough around the edges
I feel so - out of control
I can’t stop the past from replaying inside my walls
Friends telling me sorry for the complications
Lovers telling me that they’ll shield
Family screaming for normality
Then there’s me - trying to keep it real.
