Side 4
I am now a broken kaleidoscope
Every month I am turned by my meds
Their changes turn the dial, my perceptions
Shift as the shattered glass turns and my
Personality changes, the colours
Define me, but they have moved against each
Other, grinding, producing sparks that start
Fires I can only see through broken glass
Through the lines of broken glass I can see
The spider web of my soul torn apart
By gales of med driven wind from each side
Of the square, so I stand in the middle
And despairingly, desperately try
To hold it together, as stones and trees
Move when my back is turned and the lines shift
Distort and break and I obsessively
Walk the lines, stone, bench, tree. I try to heal
Tonight I will measure out the lines
I will stride from the stones to bench to tree
I will step softly and avoid the mines
Set there by those who hate me to be free
I will stride from the stones to bench to tree
I will step softly and avoid the mines
Set there by those who hate me to be free
I am now a broken kaleidoscope
Every month I am turned by my meds
Their changes turn the dial, my perceptions
Shift as the shattered glass turns and my
Personality changes, the colours
Define me, but they have moved against each
Other, grinding, producing sparks that start
Fires I can only see through broken glass
Something's under the ice, the ice is thin
It rises, the ice cracks, lines spread out like
A spider web etched on the frozen skin
I will hold them, the lines on this cold lake
It rises, the ice cracks, lines spread out like
A spider web etched on the frozen skin
I will hold them, the lines on this cold lake
Through the lines of broken glass I can see
The spider web of my soul torn apart
By gales of med driven wind from each side
Of the square, so I stand in the middle
And despairingly, desperately try
To hold it together, as stones and trees
Move when my back is turned and the lines shift
Distort and break and I obsessively
Walk the lines, stone, bench, tree. I try to heal
I will mend the line, reaffirm the web
I will allow metaphors to be real
No shifting glass, all the glass will be wed
To the light that pours through me as I heal
I will allow metaphors to be real
No shifting glass, all the glass will be wed
To the light that pours through me as I heal
