Burial#2

Burial#2

Somewhere a man lies buried in the rubble of his mind—
A pathetic place that few people will ever see…
I’m searching day by day to see what I can find—

Perhaps leaving him alone would be far more kind—
He may decline any assistance at all from me…
Somewhere a man lies buried in the rubble of his mind—

Ears deafened by silent screams, eyes that have gone blind
From see that which is better off unseen—
I’m searching day by day to see what I can find—

Can I coax him from the darkness out into the warm sunshine,
Will he ever feel that he can be all that he can be…
Somewhere a man lies buried in the rubble of his mind—

Struggling against the Powers of Darkness, waiting for a sign
That his sentence is over, and he is finally free…
I’m searching day by day to see what I can find—

But The Face mocks from the shadows and the mirror is unkind,
For, as you may have guessed, that weary soul is me…
Somewhere I lie buried in the rubble of my mind—
But I’m searching day by day to see what I can find…
