What do you do when the things you once knew grow far from the things that you know?
When you touch the taboos and aren't sure if they burn, When you don't know which lessons are right ones to learn, When things that you hope mix with things that you fear, And you start to let go of the things you held dear,
When the holes in your soul that you've covered with straw, Are pressed on, explored, and made weaker and raw, When you shudder and tremble and shrink from the test, And choose worst in a trial between better and best,
When love doesn't hold as it's loosely applied, And you know there is no one who stands on your side, When warmth tantalizes, chill promises sleep, And you've no more laughter, nor teardrops to weep,
When you've no cause for living, or will left to die, When desire is empty and all hope is dry, When colors mean nothing, for inside you're gray, What do you do? Save exist one more day.
