What Hurts You The Most ?
each of us is faced with a decision
a heart that burns and is ever giving
some go through deep moments alone
others ponder a new way of escape
perhaps you may call it fate
it helps to get away
beyond the brisk hustle & bustle
getting away from all the trouble
to a place of reasom from within
a new way to begin again
we clap our hands in peril of our assortment
heavy hearts are out stirring tonight
yet no one questions anymore
instead we settle for anything goes
the bullet holes
a braided fixture to expose
yet the impulse of the drama brings us near
I shed a tear to numb the inner pain
not having her in my arms is driving me insane
yet we do nothing but complain
as the world outside goes totally insane
for you are the magnet and I am the steal
only get one chance at life's spinning wheel
yet you say its no big deal
something inside hurts you the most
like a lost seagull outside on the coast
spread your wings as in the holy ghost
a challenge to be free is a question of time
