Fear...

How will you know...when he’s gone
Faith surrounds your heart in stone
How will you feel...when it gets back
Seen from outside.. the heart Attacks

Why did you think...that it was me?
Maybe in spirit...not in body.
When did you get...so precise
Take your own medicine and reason why

God, Danny, are you insane?
How can you treat.. Her.. like a game
What yields a man...who will not care
Pearls of wisdom soft in vinegar
...You did not know how lucky you were

 Once, and only once...you  may stumble on someone
 Who challenges the Lifeline, the Heartline, yet claims
 ‘Nothing much here, just flesh and blood’
 Then that star disappears... that shining sun...
An after-image seared into the eye... remains

What drove you off...was it the fear?
That old myth my cross to bear:
When you know too much... of a girl
You steal away her life and soul

i wish i knew...how to feel
maybe then i could hate you for hating me
perhaps if i become... like all other men
i shall feel something again

Why can’t you try...to love this life
Is there nothing left, except to die?
if i were God...what could i do
to hear just one more word from you?
