When

When the new beginning starts This heavy weight that pressures me down Grinds the tip of my nose against the dusty floor Laughing as my trembling knees scrape the gravel This weight shall be instantly eradicated When the new beginning starts When the revolution comes these splintering ropes that bind my praying hands Burn rapidly through the innocence of flesh Wear gradually away at the strong bone These ropes shall be sliced through When the revolution comes When the raging war has been successful These blisters that bring grievances to my feet Antagonize every pain filled step I take Tempt failure by coaxing the thought of stopping~ These blisters shall heal with nursing treatment When the raging war has been successful When the time long awaited arrives at the door The blindfold that shields my already shut eyes Envelopes one's self within their darkest second Steals the desired vision but leaves the painted image The blindfold shall be lef to quickly burn when the time long awaited arrives at the door When the age of singing youth matures into song The bargained price that has attached to my sould Manipulates every singular choice of my very own Threatens to compromise the foundations of who I am That bargained price shall depreciate to nothing When the age of singing youth matures into song When the dawn awakes from hibernation The chain that intricately encages my thriving heart Squeezes every beat tighter than before Dares to tear the tissue leaving roughened edges This chain shall find its weakest link When the dawn awakes from hibernation When the distance of tomorrow refers to yesterday the barrier that has built to pause my future life Prevents emotions from ruling through harsh pessimism Allows readily acceptance with no concern to challend The barrier shall be brutally knocked down When the distance of tomorrow refers to yesterday January 2005
