Roundabout, Around and around and around we go, I don't know, How to get off, do you.
The sky has become yours and mine. Our breath has entertained. But slowly it disappears like a dream. Leaving a faint trail behind. In that dream, I'll be a planet, you'll be a planet.

Press play then pause,. Stop this, fast forward,. It's better here than back then,. Living in the future now, don't press end,. Don't play today, no rewinds,. I've left that all behind,.
Still such a long way to go, How I will make it, I do not know. Each excruciating step jars my soul, Each burst of pain creates a bigger hole.
Welcome to my mind,. Dark tunnels are not hard to find,. Take a left and then a right,. The tunnels will end with a bright beam of light,. Round the bend,. Is confidence needing a mend,.
The world is a mystery. Ready to be opened like a book. Your eyes contain your whole life. In one single look. So much information. Trapped inside your head. You feel as if its written.

A free soul. At last made myself whole. Made peace with the world. Opening my eyes to the beauty it holds. And now am singing with the moon. Standing on a dune. Gazing up at the stars.
