Another Day 

 

 

I’m here but in another sense I’m long gone
I've been without and I’ll be without
But I wonder how long
Days mesh to months and with all this pain
I wonder when enough is enough

A child’s silver lined dreams fade and rust 
As time turns to dust in my hands
And what was left of love was only lust

It’s so hard to know who is wrong and what reality to trust
When all you know is what you’ve learned to hate
And often even if you run you’re running late

So I call to the court of morality 
Someone capable of judging 
It’s not you and it’s not me
It’s an angelic Goddess who’s never fallen
Or been trapped and couldn't be freed
She says to be careful and light candles as I pray 
To have faith and come what may
Always remember that tomorrow 
It’s just another day 

As night falls with a creeping black veil 
And stars emerge beside a moon that makes them pale
My lonely illness finds its way into my heart 
And I can’t wait for the sun and daylight 
To clear the darkness from my sky

Into my mind I leap 
To a land where fairies bleed atop golden clouds too bright to see
Mushrooms grow and dragons fight with gnomes 
No one knows who’s wrong or right 
And unicorns lay patiently as evil wizards lurk  unseen
Just waiting for the chance to steal their horn

But this is all a mad dream and I’ll see that eventually 
Maybe tomorrow
It’s just another day.
