In God We Trust

The idea of a new begining should be exciting and positive but so often inside you feel anxiety and a pressure to be successful in the fresh start. What if I fail pales in comparison to the fear of-what if I succeed? Then what? What next? How can you top that success? Success is something I long for but as much as I strive to achieve a part of me always wonders what do I do if I get it right? Sometimes I think people create their own problems, we subconsciously hold back or will ourselves and others to fail for fear of change. Mostly though we are unfathomable walking conundrums.


we close our eyes
bury our heads in the sand
breathe oxygen and lies
but inside we understand

it's all over now
the final curtain call
take that one last bow
try to carry on
make it work somehow

yet when your standing on the precipice
searching for some meaning
looking down into a black abyss
you'd better pray your only dreaming

your hand clasped in mine
our painted tight lipped smiles
pretending we're both fine
inside we're sick with bile

it's all over now
the final curtain call
take that one last bow
try to carry on
make it work somehow

yet when your standing on the precipice
searching for some meaning
looking down into a black abyss
you'd better pray your only dreaming

put your hands together for me now
but hold the applause
are you listening up there now?
this crowd needs a worthy cause
