Destruction or Strength

whether locked up or on top of the world i felt the same sense of unrest pursuing numbers the approval of others outward illusions of success just an illusion (illusion) an illusion masking restlessness all ending in a downward spiral rock bottom is all relative some people lose their homes and others lose their heart the sad truth is i lost them both ‘cause i perilously chose to compromise my soul i could not see past all the distraction (distraction, destruction) until everything to hide behind... until everything to hide behind was gone now that everything is gone i’m free, free to see without distraction there’s nowhere left to hide as i face what is inside what is inside now changing like the tide devoid of peace but now finding what brings serenity and what can be centering but it’s not the things it used to be because they have been taken and cannot be retrieved now that everything to hide behind (distraction, destruction) until everything to hide behind was gone now that everything is gone i’m free, free to see without distraction there’s nowhere left to hide as i face what is inside what is inside what is left (what is left) when you take it all away (when you take it all away)? a battle between desolation and sorrow leaving behind destruction or strength destruction or strength destruction or strength whether locked up or on top of the world i felt the same sense of unrest but now it’s gone now that everything is gone i’m free, free to see without distraction there is nowhere left to hide as i face what is inside what is inside whether locked up or on top of the world i felt the same sense of unrest but now it’s gone (what is inside) just an illusion an illusion masking restlessness
