As. . .

As rugged as the peaks of mountains
This pain'll never go away
I fear I'm locked forever
I have no escape

As jagged as the eggshells I walk on
That cut into my feet
This goodbye will pierce my heart
And my greatest fear I shall meet

As confused as a kaleidoscope
I stumble and I fall
Trying to make it out alive
From these collapsing walls

As claustrophobic as a coffin
I'm kept away from you
Living like a nun in silence
Waiting for some truth

As quiet as a riverside
You are my shadow's keeper
As painful as the memories
I cut a little deeper

As sharp as the knife blade
Your love pierces my depression
You pull me into your safe, sane arms
I can now release this oppression
