Drink Responsibly

Time In The Dark

 

I was born somewhere I didn’t belong,

Coughing and choking up a lung.

The First day of my life I noticed,

Nobody was around to help me understand.

All the doctors in the world could never fix this,

I lost my ears and was the opposite of the ‘norm’.

Making foreign sounds with no translator,

Standing out like the black sheep in the white pack.

I built a shell that could protected me,

Shielding reality’s dark and deadly grip. 

For twenty years I danced with the devil,

His fiery habits burned me deep at nite.

He had a hold of me for the first sixteen,

But then I learned how to burn.

Altering my reality and hell at the same time,

What better way to avoid the burn by numbing?

Fighting fire with fire it just got bigger,

The black-hole emerged and i fell through.

But the darkness went in with me,

And for three years I blinded myself with syrup.

Three years in the dark was so much fun,

Blocking out the sun, repeatedly sliding down the spiral case.

I went insane at first and lost my balance,

With a break I went back into my dark world.

Ready this time for anything but failure,

I walked the fiery path one last time.

I squared up with the Devil straight in the eye,

He saw the fear that was no longer in me.

For this I fooled the devil into my hand,

Used his own tricks and now he fears me.

I finally crawled out of the black-hole,

I finally opened up my shell .

The light was no longer hiding,

My path was right in front of me.

Now carrying the light for the ones who are lost,

Even in the dark you sometimes need a hand. - Kevin Waldo

Its good to keep things in the dark..makes things interesting

Yet i haven’t learned anything since back,

I’ve said too much, i haven’t said enough up front.

The light was great at first,

But the darkness was my obstacle at last.

They told me to choose one and put the other down,

Maybe working for both sides is the way to fuck it all up.

So the time has come to bounce once back,

To shut the light off and flip the shades on.

So i guess it back to my evil ways,

Till the time arrives for us to come together as good and evil…B)- Kevin Waldo
