Realization (On Edge)

On a ledge looking back at the red hue sky
Wondering about how and why I think as I do
About all the moments at my back, in front of my mind
I can't turn around and I can't look away
And it feels like it will always be that way

It's never the freedom that appeals about a fall
But the crash that becomes an instant rest
A moment that would wipe it all away
Like the sweet embrace of the days where the sky was blue
In times of teddy bear and blanket dreams
Where life was simple and pure

How many fingers can one point until they come back
Straight to the heart, to the weak and knowing mind
So many moments to turn a page, make things over
But constantly failing like a gutless wonder
Content to wallow in the indecision of the present

No matter how much I want it to be different
My theories are all outside of time, out of time
Every yearning to change the past is in vain
I am the consequence of every moment
No matter where the fingers belong, the villain is in the mirror

On edge and staring at this fading red sky
Screaming from within for fear of breaking my mask
I wonder how long I will lament in this lost pose
Head turned to the past and body wallowed in present's indecision
